Longtime NASCAR star Kyle Busch is nearing the age of retirement, and it sounds like he has quite a plan for how he would like the rest of his career to play out, if everything goes perfectly.
During a recent appearance on SiriusXM Business Radio’s show “Cars & Culture with Jason Stein,” Kyle Busch outlined his retirement plan “in a perfect world,” revealing how the end of his racing career could intertwine with the beginning of his son Brexton’s career.
“I would say in a perfect world – I’ve kind of dreamt this up a little bit – in a perfect world, I would retire from Cup racing when Brexton is 15 years-old and I would go run a year of Trucks,” Kyle Busch said according to Motorsport.com
“I’d go run a full Truck series season to see if I can win a Truck series championship because that, I would be the first one to have ever won all three (national) series of NASCAR, you know, the championship, which I’ve won the most races across all three of those divisions, than anybody combined.
“So, I would do that and then when Brexton turns 16, him and I can split that truck where he can run the shorter track races and I can run the bigger track races. So, for two years, because you have to be 18 to run the big tracks, so for two years we would split it. And then when he’s 18, he takes it over, and then when he runs it and takes it over and hopefully wins a championship, then he moves on and then I’m out.
“Like, I’m done. You know, that would, that would be it for me. So that would probably put me around, I guess 49, 50-years-old.”
We’ll have to see if everything goes according to plan.
