Denny Hamlin’s Soothing Comments Amidst Speculation Michael Jordan’s NASCAR Team is Sending Kurt Busch Into Retirement to Make Room for Tyler Reddick in 2023

The biggest speculation that remains in NASCAR at this moment is what happens to Kurt Busch. With ever-growing rumors of Tyler Reddick heading to 23XI Racing early, fans seem to be on the edge with regard to Busch’s future in the sport. However, recently Denny Hamlin gave a statement with a sense of optimism regarding his driver’s medical evaluation.

A NASCAR journalist stated, “Hamlin said Kurt spoke with doctors days ago and would have something to announce this week. Added the team would have an announcement this weekend in Vegas. Appears this is at least a part of what the announcement will be.”

Hamlin stated, “I think he went to the doctor last week and I think we are going to have an update from him in the next handful of days. Probably we’ll have something next weekend. We certainly want him to be a part of our team and helping us out. I talked to him a little bit today and he has just given us some observations and certainly is an asset to our team… We want to keep him, Toyota wants to keep him, I’m sure we’ll have a meaningful position long after his driving career is over, whenever that is.”

However, just a day prior another journalist stated, “Hearing @TylerReddick‘s contract has been bought out from @RCRracing and he will join @23XIRacing next year. Announcement expected this weekend at @LVMotorSpeedway #NASCAR”

NASCAR Fans speculate the future of Kurt Busch

Fans mostly seem to think that either Busch would announce his retirement or perhaps state that he might race for the remainder of the season and then park it.

Most of them stated that they felt bad for Busch and speculated further that perhaps Reddick would take over the #45 come next season. One would argue that such speculation would make sense, but the final answer can only be derived when Hamin announces whatever he has to announce at Vegas.
