Penske Racing will meet Monday to discuss Busch's future. During that meeting, it's believed an announcement of some sort is expected during the day. One source said it was more likely it would be announced that Busch and Penske were mutually parting ways rather than the driver being fired.
Several sources are reporting David Ragan is the leading candidate to replace Busch. Ragan, 26, spent the 2011 season with Roush Fenway Racing but lost his ride when the organization couldn't find sponsorship for him next season.
Busch's temper has gotten the best of him on several occasions during his NASCAR career. The most recent event happened during the season-finale Chase for the Sprint Cup race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. He used an obscene gesture while in his car and was caught on video blowing up at ESPN reporter Dr. Jerry Punch, who requested an interview with him following the race.
