A little NASCAR news with Daytona 500 only 33 days away

[BigJay]

For you very few NASCAR fans on BMR and with the Daytona 500 a month away, some interesting news.

Kurt Busch, older brother of Kyle and a former series champ, has finally been cleared by doctors to race again THREE years after a really bad wreck in qualifying gave him a serious concussion that forced his retirement.

Some people think this isn’t a sport but can you imagine getting into a race car knowing this could be the result or worse every time you strap it up?

Sounds like he’s going to some one-offs like this year’s Race of Champions.

I really wish he wouldn’t. Nothing to gain and a lot to lose.

Here’s his wreck that will have sidelined Kurt for three years.

Looks as if he's preparing for the Baja 500 as well

This is crazy. The guy is going to make his CTE worse.
I wonder if this is a financial decision.

BTW, I kind of got a little excited when I saw DAYTONA....

I told @JDS I may go.

I have a ton of miles to use and tickets aren’t that cheap although hotels can be

thought he lived close by but he’s 4 hours away or so

Probably be a 2026 thing if it’s the Daytona 500

might choose the Derby instead. You can stay an hour away cheap and take a shuttle. Never been

Nope, it's not something I'm planning on doing
