Kurt went from being the delinquent kid to being the cool uncle figure of NASCAR.
What????
I'm here, my friend. Not as often as I should be.
Aw man, I'm sorry.
I'm a year late. *waves*
Good to see you back posting. I hope all is well.
Nice to see you as well!!!! Missed y'all.
I'm sorry. I disappeared for so long.
No need to apologize, everybody needs a break sometime.
Yeah, I kinda dropped off the map after my knee surgery. It was a difficult time.
I know he used to race in the bull ring in Las Vegas when he was young. Is that on dirt? Do you know?

Getting a veteran like Kurt with his talent would be great and really build some strong foundations.Kurt Busch top candidate with 23XI Racing set to expand to two cars: Sources
Kurt Busch is emerging as the leading candidate to drive the second car for Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan's 23XI Racing when it expands next year, sources told The Athletic.
Interesting for sure. So the elder Busch might just end up in the Toyota fold before he hangs up his helmet after all.

I do too. I would love to see Kurt join that team and help them step up to the next level.
Toyota has immense respect for Kurt. This deal does not surprise me.
What is Kurt gonna do that Denny isn’t already?
Hopefully put the car he would drive in some good finishing positions and give them some good feed back along with Bubbas feedback. That is probably the reason they are spending the money for another car.
Win races...
More is always better unless it’s carcinogenic.
If the deal happens Kurt will obviously have seat time with the team that Denny does not have.
Denny isn't driving his own stuff. He is in need of perspective if you believe that he clearly delineates between owner and driver....plus he is a huge Wheels fan, and maybe there needs to be some additional data on that end as well. I think Kurt would be brutally honest. What does he have to lose?
Everything I’m hearing is -
If you don't like the answers we give you above then I don't know what answers you are looking for. I absolutely think adding another car if it has a veteran driver would be a plus for that team. As far as the 2 questions... is Bubba not providing sufficient feedback and can Bubba win races I would have to say I don't know. The team hasn't really gotten any better from the start of the season and he hasn't won any races. But as I said I don't know if any of that has anything to do with Bubba's driving or Bubba's feedback. But, this isn't about Bubba anyway... this is about the whole team and the whole company trying to compete at a higher level. I don't understand why you are being so defensive about Bubba because no one has said anything negative or pointed any fingers at Bubba.
So why not just move Kurt to the #23 car to win races instead of spending the money and time to cull resources for another brand new team? That’s the part that perplexes me. If a veteran driver is the answer, just add that element instead of birthing another team. That’s why I don’t think adding another driver is the end all answer. The #23 team has shown they have the speed to run top 10-15. In order to be win competitive, that dial needs to be turned up with the existing team before another team should be added. I mean, look at SHR. That squad could essentially shrink down to just the #4 team and nobody would bat an eye.
SHR.....Who the hell would test fit Rodney's blades? Come on! I think that Kurt would validate Bubba's input. That makes the team stronger IMO.
