Kurt Busch is hoping that his upcoming participation at the Race of Champions is a springboard to a broader return to racing.
The 2004 NASCAR Cup Series champion was forced to call time on his full-time NASCAR career in 2023 due to the effects of a concussion sustained in a c rash during qualifying at Pocono in 2022. He gained medical clearance to get back into the cockpit this week ahead of the Race of Champions in Sydney on March 7-8, and told RACER that he hopes that more driving is on the horizon.
“It has been awesome these last couple of months, preparing for the Race of Champions,” Busch said.
