OPINION: Kurt Busch\u2019s NASCAR career is now officially over. But the moments \u2013 both good and bad \u2013 that have come to define it will endure for many more years to come
. This season both its cars have reached the playoffs for the first time in 23XI's short three-year history, with Wallace making the cut on points in the final race of the regular season at Daytona.and NBA legend Michael Jordan – for 2022 in what was going to be the final full-time Cup ride of his long career. And it was, only it did not end on the terms he envisioned.
While Busch’s younger brother, Kyle, has won more NASCAR races and championships, the elder Busch’s career has had far more ups and downs as well as twists and turns. Kurt joined what is now Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing in 2000, making his NASCAR national series debut in the Truck Series, where he won four races and was second in the series standings in his first year.
But in December 2011, Penske released Busch, who had been fined $50,000 by NASCAR for a profanity-laced interview with a TV reporter and using an obscene gesture during the season finale race at Homestead. Again, Busch’s future seemed uncertain but, once more, he returned to drive another day. First, it was a season with owner James Finch and Phoenix Racing in 2012, which included a one-race suspension for verbally threatening a reporter. In 2013, he moved to the upstart Furniture Row Motorsports, then was tapped as driver for a new Cup team in 2014 at, where he won six races over five seasons. This included the Daytona 500 in 2017.
