When will Kyle Busch retire?

[KyleLarson5]

Busch has been racing for a while, and with his brother now officially retired, I've been wondering when he'll throw in the towel. I'm thinking maybe '29 or '30. Do y'all have any predictions?

Photo just because:

 

[HoneyBadger]

I think in the next two years. He’ll run a full truck season to get a championship to be the first to win all three then he’ll retire.

 

[JJ_14]

I could see him race for a few more years; he still hasn't turned 40. Looks young and in great shape.

 

[StandOnIt]

A lot of it depends on Brexton. He was announcing at a High Limit race the other night and they were trying to talk Kyle to get into a 410. He said Brexton would get in one but he wasn't. He wants to race with Brexton in the Truck series whenever that is.

The child will be 10 years old in May.

Yeah, he is bandilero level on pavement and restricted class mini sprints I believe.

 

[BobbyFord]

Whenever he’s ready. That’s my prediction.

Look at this.

 

[BobbyFord]

Maybe he’s signing to a better team. RCR is garbage.

 

[Blaze]

Look at this.

With that time, probably a throwback.

 

[KyleLarson5]

Maybe he’s signing to a better team. RCR is garbage.

Maybe he'll go back to Joe Gibbs...

 

[Blaze]

Maybe he'll go back to Joe Gibbs...

I'd like that, so everything would be right in the world with him being disliked again

 

[StandOnIt]

Maybe he’s signing to a better team. RCR is garbage.

One can hope. He ran like crap today.

 

[StandOnIt]

Starting back with the KBM truck team wouldn't bother me.

 

[BobbyFord]

One can hope. He ran like crap today.

He’s still driving for Richard, right?
I didn’t catch the race.

 

[BobbyFord]

Maybe he'll go back to Joe Gibbs...

In what car number? I didn’t realize they had an available seat.

 

[StandOnIt]

Yeah finished 21st. Every time I checked he was in the 20's

 

[StandOnIt]

They don't unless they get rid of somebody.

 

[BobbyFord]

That’s gotta suck.

 

[Blaze]

I seriously think it's a throwback thing.

18:51

Come on two numbers he is known for.

It’s a truck thing, maybe an Xfin thing, too.

Could be a throwback. It's a couple weeks away and RCR does throwbacks.

6:51 pm(which is what 18:51 would be) just seems like a weird time to do an announcement for something to serious you know?

Kinda of a strange time to announce anything really.

This will either be a throwback announcement or something involving Brexton.

If it is a “retirement” or a step back from fulltime Cup racing, then good for him. He’s accomplished about everything you possibly can in this sport. Minus a 500. Go run for a Truck Series championship and enjoy Brexton’s budding career.

 

[BobbyFord]

I remember back when a D500 win was really something.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

It’s not a retirement. It’ll be a throwback for a scheme he ran in the 18 or 51. Look at the time announcement.

 

[JBone88]

I remember back when a D500 win was really something.

Yep. Not even FOX cares to promote it as anything more than a circus these days.

 

[KyleLarson5]

Yep. Not even FOX cares to promote it as anything more than a circus these days.

It's more like a publicity stunt than anything. Much like the Super Bowl.

 

[BobbyFord]

I’d rather have a World 600 (Coke a Cola 600) win in my résumé.

I’d rather have a World 600 (Coke a Cola 600) win in my résumé.

Yeah, it honestly seems more impressive.

 

[BobbyFord]

I used to love Daytona and Talladega, but I’ve been watching for a long time.
You could play any “plate” race now from the past 20(?) years and they all look the same. Guys that could never win anywhere in their careers have a shot at a plate win now, if they get the right push and avoid the junkyard lap.

 

[Efisher131]

Yeah finished 21st. Every time I checked he was in the 20's

He still finished ahead of his replacement

 

[Naitch]

Busch is kind of stuck now. With the 3 charter limit, I don’t see a top tier seat opening up for him any more soon.

51-18=33 one of RCR's Xfinity numbers...this actually became slightly deeper than the joke I was making. But you're still probably right with the throwback scheme...

 

[Hawaii808]

Legend team for himself and Brexton. Samantha as “owner”. It’s a win win for Kyle, more seat time and he’s there to coach Brexton up.

He’s already talked about putting together a Truck ride for Brexton when he’s of age. Kyle would take the age restricted races and Brexton the rest. When Brexton makes 18 he’d stand down and be a full time “race dad”.

 

[hmmm298]

I think in the next two years. He’ll run a full truck season to get a championship to be the first to win all three then he’ll retire.

He’ll probably **** up at Phoenix if he does.

Also I think Byron beats him to that feat this year.

My boy @StandOnIt is all the Rowdy Fan expert. So awesome. LOL.
