Trevor Bayne , considered one of the more promising young drivers in the Nationwide Series, has lost his ride the No. 99 Diamond Waltrip car due to sponsorship issues.

In his first full season in the Nationwide Series, Bayne is seventh in points (second best among the non-Cup contingent) with five top fives and 10 top 10s in 28 starts.

But Bayne had a contract option that was not picked up lat week, which complicated his situation.

"That's what's caused all the turmoil this week," Bayne said after the Dover race in a article on NASCAR.com . "The only reason [the option] wouldn't be exercised -- the biggest thing is just sponsorship. It's not performance; it's not anything except sponsorship -- that's it."

Ryan Truex , younger brother of Martin Truex Jr. , is set to fill the seat at Kansas. With Martin Truex also set to drive in the Nationwide race at Kansas, it will pit the two brother against each other in the series for the first time.

No news on where Bayne may be headed just yet, but with any luck he won't be out of a ride too long.

He's the second Nationwide regular to lose his seat this week as Brian Scott was released by Turner Motorsports. Scott had been driving the No. 11 car for Braun Racing, which was bought out by Turner last week.

Scott, whos is 14th in Nationwide points, is rumored to be talking with Joe Gibbs Racing about a ride.
