Kyle Busch Believes Maybe the End of His NASCAR Career Is Near, as Fans Begin to Back Him Up

Among the current roster of full-time drivers, Kyle Busch happens to have the most wins across all the three racing series of NASCAR. He has stocked up 64 wins in Truck, 102 wins in Xfinity races, and as the cherry on top, 228 titles in NASCAR National Series history. But the start of the 2024 season did not pan out so well for him. After running three stages of the Daytona 500 in the back, he managed to scrape a P12 finish. Does this mean that Busch has lost his touch?

Even the Richard Childress Racing driver could agree no less. Kyle Busch has already given hints about retiring soon, and how his focus is now on his son’s nascent career in racing. 

Kyle Busch edging toward a possible exit from racing

Kevin Harvick hung up his gloves late last year, sealing a glittering career of wins. Speaking to this veteran retired racer on Fox, Busch may have felt a desire to end his racing journey as well. 

Harvick at first mentioned the popularity of Richard Childress, Busch’s current team owner. “..you look at a guy like Richard Childress and he has this following of people and this trust with the race fans. I think that had to help with everything that you’re going through.”

On the subject of legendary drivers, Busch pitched in his own view, saying, “A lot of the great drivers, right: Earnhardt for instance, or Jeff Gordon or Dale Jarrett…Jimmie Johnson…they get a lot of booze right, they win too much…and then towards the end of their career, they don’t really win as much.

Both Earnhardt and Jarrett were the shining stars of NASCAR back in the day. Earnhardt is the more legendary of the two, so Jarrett took pride in beating the former in two Daytona 500 races (1993 and 1996). Jeff Gordon, presently the vice chairman at Hendrick Motorsports, won the Great American Race twice under the same team.

“So the cheers kinda start coming. People start realizing like, ‘okay, they’re getting towards the end of the road. We might pull for him now, he’s okay.”

Then Busch dragged his own career into the discussion. He said: “So maybe that means I’m getting to the end of the road, so, I don’t know.”

Midway last year, Kyle Busch had revealed a possible retirement plan. He wanted to go out in glory while flagging off his son’s career in NASCAR as a full-time driver.

While Kyle may be in the twilight phase of his career, the Busch family’s legacy does not see an end in sight. Kyle Busch is planning to align a concluding Truck Series title with his son’s 15th birthday. That title would mark Busch as the only driver to win championships in all three series. In 2031, when Brexton is 16, Busch wants to split an entry with him in the Truck races. 

His 8-year-old Brexton has already started snagging wins. In early February this year, B-Rex tested his Bandolero car and then raced in the Junior Sprint event at Marion County Speedway. Busch congratulated his son on a job well done.

Rowdy may be planning his retirement plan already, but we all wish to see the winningest driver take home at least one Harley J. Early Trophy. Dale Earnhardt got his chance after 20 years. Who knows, maybe Kyle Busch will win the Daytona 500 in 2025?
