With just two races remaining until the start of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, two-time champion Kyle Busch remains without a contract for next season.
Busch, 37, is in the final year of his current deal with Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) and has yet to sign an extension with the team as of Saturday. Ahead of the weekend’s race at Watkins Glen, the long-time Cup Series driver spoke candidly about the toll that not having a new contract in place has had on him throughout the current season.
“It’s been hard as hell. It’s been a lot of sleepless nights figuring out what your future is and all that sort of stuff… I’m a racer and I’ve only ever known how to race, nothing else,” Busch said, per Dustin Long of NBC Sports. “I’ve been trying to do other business projects and things like that, but none of them have really blown up and taken off. So, it has been hard and figuring out all of that is certainly tough.”
