It's devastating when career-threatening injuries force an athlete to retire. Kurt Busch is one of the stalwarts in the realm of NASCAR today, who has gone through that unfortunate phase in his career back when he suffered a concussion due to a qualifying crash at Pocono Raceway in 2022. However, NBA legend and 23XI Racing co-owner Michael Jordan knew better than to let his driver go. Busch is now a consultant for 23XI Racing, although he calls himself the CFD, Captain of Fun Department.
“Whatever it means is whatever it means,” he said. “But I’ve enjoyed working with all of the departments and being that extra set of eyes and helping our team advance so that we can win more races, be more competitive and have shots at winning championships. I want to give back to the team.”
Looking at his splendid performance as a driver for the Hamlin-Jordan-owned team, one thing is certain; Busch has brought 23XI Racing a lion share of the glory that they flaunt today. Back in his prime, Busch has been a Cup Series champion (2004). Besides that, he won 34 races throughout his career, including the prestigious 2017 Daytona 500 victory and the 2010 Coca-Cola 600. Besides 23XI Racing, the 45-year-old NASCAR veteran has also been a part of other well-known race teams like Roush Racing, Team Penske, Phoenix Racing, Furniture Row Racing, Stewart-Haas Racing, and Chip Ganassi Racing.
