At 39, Kyle Busch is probably contemplating the moves he might take after calling it quits from NASCAR racing. He’s won almost every accolade and trophy throughout his career, but what’s next? We have seen drivers shift gears in their professional careers and take up the role of TV broadcaster. The likes of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kevin Harvick are the perfect examples of drivers who excelled in their adventures both on and off the race track.

Although Rowdy himself isn’t sure about his retirement, it looks like he’s already tiptoeing his way into knowing the ins and outs of media and entertainment. He even appeared on NASACR’s new roundtable show, ‘Inside the playoffs,’ and he did justify his role. This avenue on the TV and media side of things is indeed a lucrative thought, but Kyle Busch also has other commitments.

Kyle Busch is open to switching to media role after retiring

Rowdy certainly had his hands full for the past few years. He was having a tough time dealing with his exit from JGR, had to sell off his Truck Series team, Kyle Busch Motorsports, and deal with the closure of Rowdy Energy. It felt like he was stretched pretty thin, trying to cope with all the things he had to deal with. But what remained constant was his attention to his son’s rise as a race car driver.

Time and again, Rowdy has hinted that his retirement would come around when Brexton breaks through on the NASCAR stage. While he is open to the idea of working as a media professional, his priority will be helping Brexton in his racing journey. Moreover, he might be done with NASCAR racing, but he does have plans to continue racing on dirt.

“I see Harvick doing it; I’ve seen Darrell Waltrip do it and have seen plenty of other ex-drivers go into that role. But I also enjoy (9-year-old son) Brexton racing, and I want to be a part of that as well. I enjoy the dirt track aspect of that, being able to get out there and go race at the tracks where he’s racing. So as long as it fits within a schedule — I don’t want to stretch myself too much and put myself out there where I over-commit.” Busch said this while speaking to Jeff Gluck’s special segment show 12-Questions.

As someone who completed the rigorous racing schedules at an early age, Kyle Busch knows exactly what it takes to make it into racing. Moreover, Kevin Harvick set the tone for how a lot of drivers today can look to bring their children into stock-car racing. At the age of 11, Keelan Harvick has already debuted in stock-car racing and even won at the New River All-American Speedway in the Legends division. Learning from how Kevin Harvick molded his son into racing, Kyle Busch already has a plan for his son Brexton’s racing opportunities.

The roadmap for Brexton leads to his first Pro Late Model Stock car racing experience. “When he turns 10, he can run Legend cars — so we’ll add that in next May. And then at 12, you’re allowed to run the CARS Tour Pro Late Models. So he’ll probably get into some of that at 12. He’ll probably also do some Late Model Stock stuff and some Super Late Models at 14. I want to keep him on the dirt and asphalt realm… And then by 16, he’ll be ready for some Trucks,” Busch added.

Despite having an illustrious career, Kyle Busch does have some unfinished business he would like to settle before bowing out.

The Daytona 500 and the 20th-year win streak are primary objectives for Busch

Jumping ships from Joe Gibbs Racing to RCR, the veteran driver has had a tough time reinventing himself. He did win three Cup Series races driving the #8 Chevy Camaro in 2023, but this year he’s hit new lows and is still looking for his first victory. Missing the playoffs was indeed a big disappointment for the 2-time champion, but he’s on the verge of losing another personal milestone.

Kyle Busch has a record of winning at least one race since he started competing full-time in NASCAR. That winning streak currently stands at 19, and if Rowdy fails to get his #8 Chevy in the victory lane in the next five races, he won’t be able to continue this milestone. However, so far Rowdy has fluffed his lines in instances where he was close to making it a 20-year win streak. The Kansas spin is the most recent example where he was too eager to get to the checkered flag but ended up wrecking himself.

On the other hand, he has won all the crown jewel NASCAR races except the Daytona 500. And this iconic race win is something he’s striving for. “Obviously, winning the Daytona 500 if it relates to our sport and racing. That’s probably high atop the list,” Busch explained. Although the odds are currently stacked against Busch, he certainly has all the talent and experience to get out of this sticky situation.
