This may be better than race for the championship
more videos like this please.
I love these great videos!
Good on you Kurt for not answering that one. I felt that. We are here for you.
can you explain what happened to not make him want to answer? I was confused on that one
@calvincanada4723 Last year, he hit the wall at Pocono (I think) and got a concussion that ultimately led to the end of his racing career. This new car arguably doesn’t have the same capability to protect drivers from rear end collisions like the last generation of car which is likely why his concussion was so bad. So basically, he was having a career resurgence, had no plans to retire, and that was all taken away from him due to a new car not being as “safe” as the old one. So what did he give up, his career and ability to race again.
I honestly think there might be more to it than that. His divorce happened not long before the wreck and not long after he flirted with retirement…… quite possibly Ashley gave him an ultimatum, he chose his career, only to have it taken from him anyway…… obviously I could be wrong but that’s the thing, nobody knows these guys 100% personally
@DaveFerguson-vh5fn yea fair point. Nevertheless difficult to see him leave under the circumstances
@cak5171 I don’t really think that was the answer to the question. The Pocono crash crossed my mind when I first saw it, but it isn’t a direct answer to the question imo.
So happy to see Kurt get represented. I pray he comes back and has the opportunity to go out on his terms in some capacity.
Kurt Busch is underrated
Honestly, he’s my favorite driver, just I doubt he’ll come back, im pretty sure he’s mostly done now
I started to tear up when Kurt Busch reacted to “What did I give up to be here”. I hope he fully recovers and gets to race again.
Phew. That moment with Kurt, almost got me there.
It totally got me there. That is rough. I am not even a Kurt Busch fan, but damn… That one hurt.
I almost cried that was tough to watch .
@Tim Mann Same reaction from me- brought me to tears.
So much real emotion from Kurt, bout made me tear up. I like the videos Nascar puts out humanizing the drivers, making them feel more personable and relatable
They probably would get a lot of views if they made more videos like this which they should and this might be better that race for a championship series
Love this kind of content. Keep making stuff like this please
I needed this so much. It applies to much more than racing, but many other things such as the music business.
We need a Kurt Busch documentary asap!
Absolutely amazing piece. Beautifully shot, colored and edited. Need more stuff like this
Damn! That was outstanding work! Fox took big steps forward in coverage this season, and then to see this! Love it! Drive to Survive and the contrived drama of F1 has nothing on the real life battles of NASCAR. Thank you for conveying it.
Kurt’s emotions on the questions made me so sad know what happened to him last year.
WOW! Great work
Please keep making this kind of content on videos long enough you can actually connect with the whole thing
Heart-wrenching…
Great short film, a lot of great insight and true feelings. I thought it was very well done
If you had told me in around 2010 that Kurt Busch would be so beloved by fans in 2023 i would say you are out of your mind. Its been amazing to watch his villain arc turn into a hero arc.
You could lowkey say the same thing about Kyle Busch recently too tbh. His move to Chevy & RCR definitely has people looking at him in a different & more respectable light
I feel so bad for Kurt. I wish I could hug him. He didn’t have to say anything. We know buddy, and we love you.
