Ted Musgrave told Sirius NASCAR Radio’s Sirius Speedway with Dave Moody Wednesday that he has an opportunity to replace Kyle Busch in the driver’s seat of the #51 Billy Ballew Motorsports Camping World Truck Series Toyota next season, if sponsorship can be found. “I have some proposals out there, and a couple of them have progressed as far as the Chief Financial Officer stage, so I’m hopeful that something will come together,” said Musgrave. “Right now, I don’t necessarily need a full season sponsor. If we can just get started, I think we could make things come together. We don’t need $2-3-million from a single sponsor right now.” Asked about the status of Ballew’s longtime sponsor, Miccosukee Gaming and Resorts, Musgrave said, “They’ll be on the side of Kyle Busch’s new truck next season. When Kyle left, he took the sponsor with him. Billy (Ballew) took a hard hit on that one.” Musgrave said neither he or Ballew is interested in anything less than a full-bore effort. “Racing for Top-10s is not my style,” he said. “I’ve always gone all out, and Billy’s the same way Different companies have different financial plans, and I’m not sure when we’ll hear something on these sponsorship proposals. It’s definitely `the sooner the better.'” But like I said, even something to get us started would be nice.”(Sirius Speedway PR)(12-9-2009)
