Kurt Busch will not race in the NASCAR Cup Series next year as he continues his recovery from a concussion at Pocono in the summer. It paves the way for an early arrival of Tyler Reddick to his 23XI Racing team in 2023. Full story ⬇️
Busch, the 2004 Cup champion, has been sidelined from competition since he suffered symptoms from a concussion in a 23 July accident during qualifying at Pocono.
In a statement, 23XI Racing said it had reached an agreement with Richard Childress Racing to allow Tyler Reddick to join a year earlier than planned and step in for Busch next season. “This season took an unexpected turn with his injury. Despite the unfortunate circumstances, Kurt has not stopped being a true professional and a trusted team-mate.
“Kurt’s decision to step away from full-time NASCAR Cup Series competition next year is certainly not something anyone expected when we started the season together and celebrated in victory lane at Kansas Speedway earlier this year,” said Toyota Racing Development president David Wilson. “We’re here to support Kurt in this next chapter of his career and look forward to continuing to work alongside him.”
