Kurt Busch discusses his future at 23XI Racing after retirement

Kurt Busch talks about his future with 23XI Racing after officially announcing his retirement from the NASCAR Cup Series.

[autotag]Kurt Busch[/autotag] announced his retirement from NASCAR before the Cup Series race at Daytona International Speedway last weekend. It was an emotional day as a NASCAR champion said goodbye to the sport in a way no one could have imagined before the 2022 season. Well, that doesn’t mean Busch will be leaving overall.

Busch has been involved with [autotag]23XI Racing[/autotag] while being a good mentor for both Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick. The 2004 Cup Series champion has stayed engaged following his concussion at Pocono Raceway in July 2022 and that should remain the case moving forward. Busch was asked in a press conference if he would continue working with 23XI Racing in an advisory department and it was a positive response.

“Yes, as long as they will allow me,” Busch said. “I made up my official title this year. I was called CFD — that is coefficient of drag, really. That is what CFD stands for, but I re-nicknamed it captain of the fun department. That has been a good role, and here lately, I’ve revised it I want to be slightly more professional with the group, so I’ve named myself CVO — chief vision officer.”

“Whatever it means is whatever it means, but I’ve enjoyed working with all of the departments and being that extra set of eyes and helping our team advance so that we can win more races, be more competitive, and have shots at winning championships because that is who personally that I am and I want to give back to the team.”

It is great that Busch is still involved with 23XI Racing following his concussion but it is even better that he remains “happy” and has “no regrets” about racing in NASCAR. Much like many other retired drivers, it will be interesting to see how Busch stays involved in the sport.
