As the sponsors are concerned, yes they're agitated about what happened at Homestead

If there was any doubt as to our kinship
this should prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are, in fact, brothers. Luckily, our parents still claim us. I wish I could say the same for our race teams. Who did more yelling this year? Me at my team, or Kyle’s at him?
We appreciate the successes we experienced together and wish him the best in his future endeavors
