Kurt Busch announced Saturday that he’s stepping away from full-time NASCAR competition in 2023 so he can focus on his long-term health as he recovers from a head injury that’s kept him out of a race car since July.
From his home track of Las Vegas Motor Speedway — where the NASCAR playoffs Round of 8 begins Sunday with the South Point 400 — 44-year-old Busch said he’s not back to being 100 percent healthy and has not yet been cleared to race again.
