Kyle Busch will be allowed to race in the final two Sprint Cup Series events but without main sponsor M&M’s.
Busch will drive Sunday at Phoenix and in next weekend’s season finale at Homestead with Interstate Batteries as his sponsor instead. Although M&M’s is Busch’s primary sponsor, Interstate Batteries is heavily involved with the team.
In a statement released Thursday night, sponsor Mars said the car will not run with the M&M’s paint scheme until 2012, “at which time Kyle Busch will be the driver with the expectation that no future incident take place.”
