Kurt Busch's NASCAR career won't be restarting again anytime soon.
Busch, 44, was set to enter his second season with 23XI Racing next season and it's fair to wonder if he'll return to the Cup Series again. Busch has 34 wins in 776 races and is a surefire NASCAR Hall of Famer. Busch’s consistency throughout his career was remarkable; he won a race in all but three of his full-time Cup Series seasons from 2001-22.
Drivers started saying early in the 2022 season that the car was more rigid than its predecessor and they were feeling crash impacts much more significantly. This feedback came after the car’s implementation was delayed a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic and as other safety issues have cropped up during the season like unreliable tires and cars catching fire for bizarre reasons.
NASCAR, however, didn’t make any public overtures regarding the safety of the new Cup car in the wake of Busch’s crash. It took another concussion for that to happen. Bowman’s crash caused drivers to become even more outspoken than they had been about the issues with the new car and NASCAR took the step of meeting with drivers about their safety concerns last weekend. The “tense” meeting — according to Charlotte winner Christopher Bell — came after the Associated Press reported that at least two other unnamed Cup Series drivers believed they had suffered concussions in crashes over the course of the 2022 season.
Busch spent six seasons with Team Penske and parted ways with the team after Busch berated an ESPN cameraman in an angry incident during the final race of the season. Busch was upset his car had a mechanical failure and took his frustrations out on those around him.
