Celebrated racing champion Kurt Busch announced his retirement from the NASCAR Cup Series via a video posted on social media page on Saturday afternoon.
Busch, who has not competed since suffering a concussion in a July 2022 crash in qualifying at Pocono Raceway, is stepping away from the sport he has loved to compete in for over two decades. After a brilliant career, filled with the highs and lows of crashes and championships, the 45-year-old Busch acknowledged that father time catches up to us all.
“Dreams we all have them… Those beautiful things that scare us and excite us and drive us forward,” Busch said in the video. “Sometimes dreams change over time and sometimes they take a lifetime to achieve, but me I only ever had one dream and I chased my mine with 100 percent of who I am every single day.”
