News from KBM

The news out of Kyle Busch Motorsports happening today involves Shinnston, WV native, Josh Richards.

The 23-year-old will be joining KBM in the Camping World Truck Series, and is sponsored by Joy Mining Machinery. General Manager Rick Ren announced it with a cryptic comment while I visited Kyle Busch Motorsports Tuesday afternoon.

"Be sure to watch Race Hub on SPEED tonight for a big announcement," he told me. "We just finished filming it in the shop."


It's a fitting sponsor for a young man who's family has been involved in coal mining for generations, Rick said. And a young man who has been racing since he was in single digits.

Josh Richards was the 2005 Rookie of the Year in the World of Outlaws Late Model Series.

Josh told Race Hub he was excited to be with Kyle Busch Motorsports. "It's incredible what he's accomplished in a short time," he said.
