Roger Penske may be considering adding Kyle Busch to the Penske Racing South NASCAR operation, which includes older brother Kurt Busch. “Penske would be stupid not to look at Kyle, so that talk is under way,” Kurt Busch said during a national teleconference. But, he added, Kyle is “talking with all the other race teams out there such as Ginn Motorsports, Yates. I’m sure he’s talked with Gibbs. “I would say he’s talked with 99 percent of the garages, and that 1 percent (he hasn’t talked to) is probably Roush Racing.” Kyle Busch is to return to The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway next week and compete in the annual “Night of Fire” racing card Tuesday night.(Las Vegas Sun), been told Kyle Busch has met this week with Evernham Motorsports and Chip Ganassi Racing.(6-29-2007) UPDATE: Kyle Busch has visited eight Nextel Cup organizations since he became a free agent and could have his final list arrowed to four by the end of the weekend, a source close to the situation said on Friday. One of those organizations is Evernham Motorsports, where team members say the 22-year-old driver spent part of Tuesday. Other organizations believed to be in the mix are the Chevrolet teams of Richard Childress Racing, Dale Earnhardt Inc., Ginn Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing, and the Dodge team of Chip Ganassi Racing. Busch said he has not had sit-down discussions with Penske Racing officials even though his older brother, Kurt Busch, said there have been conversations. But he did say Chevy and Dodge teams were in the mix, and that there has been some contact by Ford. “The teams have their timetables with their sponsors and stuff like that they have to let know. … There are a couple of teams that would like to know within the next three or four [weeks].”(ESPN.com)(6-30-2007)
