In an exclusive revelation, NASCAR driver Kyle Busch has opened up about his failed attempt to join Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin’s 23XI Racing team following his departure from Joe Gibbs Racing in 2022. Despite the potential to improve 23XI Racing’s performance, much like his brother Kurt Busch, the deal fell apart due to a mix of sponsorship challenges and contractual complications with his previous team.
Busch’s tumultuous 2022 season only made the move to Jordan’s team more difficult. Reflecting on the period after his exit from Joe Gibbs Racing, Busch recalled how he pursued a spot at 23XI Racing, with hopes of securing a long-term contract. However, the team wasn’t able to offer him the deal he was seeking, forcing Busch to reconsider his options.
Ultimately, Busch signed with Richard Childress Racing (RCR) for the 2023 season, after his aspirations to join 23XI Racing fell through. Despite the setback, Busch remains focused on his career and committed to improving RCR’s performance. He’s determined to return to victory lane and make a comeback, fueling his motivation to push harder than ever in the upcoming seasons.
However, Busch’s journey has not been without struggle. He is currently in the midst of a winless streak that spans over 66 races in the Cup Series, which has added significant pressure as he looks to secure victories in the 2025 season. His performance in the coming year is critical, not only to his future at RCR but also to meet the expectations set by his supporters and the team.
Fans are eagerly awaiting Busch’s potential resurgence, and the 2025 season will be a pivotal chapter in his NASCAR career. Can he break his winless streak and prove himself as a top contender once again? Only time will tell, but Busch’s resilience and determination to succeed will undoubtedly be put to the test as the season unfolds.
Stay tuned for more updates and insights as the NASCAR world watches closely.
