“Hope Denny Hamlin… ” – After Concussion-Induced Retirement, Kurt Busch’s Exchange With Dale Earnhardt Jr Goes Unnoticed

Only a few days ago we were anticipating that Kurt Busch might perhaps make a return to the Cup Series. However, Kurt Busch then finally announced that he will not be participating in the Cup Series anymore on a full-time schedule. Right after Busch announced this news, former NASCAR driver and Hall of Famer, Dale Earnhardt Jr took to Twitter and supported Busch on his decision.

Junior said, “I appreciate how @KurtBusch made every team he went to more productive. Not many drivers could do that. Hell of a talent. Excited to see what he does from here as he steps away from full-time driving.“

Following this, Kurt Busch responded, “My passion for this sport might only be second to yours. Helping teams and drivers achieve at the highest level is something I’m very proud of and coming from you, this is an incredible honor. Thank you, Dale.”

Junior is someone who can ideally relate to why would Busch decide on pulling out of the sport like this. Earnhardt Jr himself suffered from a brain injury after receiving several concussions throughout multiple wrecks in his career. At one point things had become so bad for him that he had to step away from racing. Even though Junior eventually returned to racing, he decided soon after to retire completely from the racing scene.
