Kurt Busch has officially announced that he has retired from NASCAR Cup Series competition.
"When I do my workouts with the physical therapist, we switch them up a little bit now onto a balance type of pad and it helps with creating core strength and it helps with my movements that I have to do and it’s fatiguing," he said in February."I notice things that bring me up and then break me down when I have to do a day on and a day off now. Where I was pushing seven days a week to try to get back to the car and then in all honesty, I took December off.
It was speculated that Busch planned to retire at the end of the 2023 season, but the accident forced those plans to change abruptly. "Everything just happened a year sooner than I expected them to and I’m happy with where everything sits," said Busch. During the same February update, he said:"I just know that right here, I’m not 100 percent to race with these guys, the best of the best here at this level. Could I go do a SCCA club race next week? It’s probably not wise. Go-karting has been fine for me, the simulator has been fine, it’s just when I had my head in the headrest and there’s that movement, that’s bothers me. And then with the progress that I’ve made, progress since August, yes.
The elder Busch brother's career was one of consistency, always able to push his equipment to the front of the field. He won at least one race in 19 of his last 21 seasons, which stands as one of his most impressive accomplishments.
