Will the 2023 Cup Series season be the year of retirements? With the culmination of Crayon 301 in New Hampshire, the dilemma of retirement seems to make its presence felt stronger than ever. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver, Kevin Harvick’s retirement plans are a known fact as the fans have braced themselves to miss the dark horse from the tracks of NASCAR from the upcoming season. As a result of which the driver has been feted with numerous tributes and accolades throughout the course of the various races in his ultimate season. However, it seems there have been strong speculations that Joe Gibbs Racing’s Martin Truex Jr might also follow the same suit as Harvick. 

Amidst all the speculations that seem to perturb the minds of NASCAR enthusiasts, Joe Gibbs Racing’s Kyle Busch seems to remain a step ahead as he drops his retirement plan. 

Kyle Busch charts out his retirement plans, following Martin Truex Jr’s dilemma

There is no denying the fact that being engaged in a sport like NASCAR for years is physically and mentally taxing, not to forget the amount of sacrifices that the drivers and their families have to make in order to suit the hectic schedule of NASCAR. Even Kevin Harvick endorsed the fact before he announced his retirement before Daytona 500.

Having said that, it seems that the question of retirement is also on the cards of the #19 driver, Martin Truex Jr. Although the driver sits atop the points table, with three victories and a strong contender for the championship is in a quandary with his future in the upcoming seasons. 

Truex Jr, in the past seasons, had floated the question of bidding his final farewell, especially after a disastrous 2022 Cup season. However, he was coaxed back into racing. But, it seems that the dilemma might just see the light of day, as Truex Jr had expressed after his third victory, “I wish I had more time to figure out what I want to do next year, but I don’t. So I’ll know soon and you’ll know soon.”

While there might be no concrete answers about the future endeavors of Martin Truex Jr, Kyle Busch, on the contrary, has the perfect answer to his retirement plans and his life post-Cup Series.

The RCR driver in a conversation with Sirius XM Cloud, revealed, “Good question. I would say in a perfect world, I kind of dreamed this up already, in a perfect world, I would retire from Cup racing when Brexton is 15 years old and I would go and run a year of Truck.”

“I go and run a full Truck Series season, to see if I can win a Truck Series championship because I would be the first one to have ever won in all three series in NASCAR, the championship, which I have won the most races across all three of those divisions than anybody combined.”

Continuing on the same lines, the 2x Cup Series champion also added, “So I would do that, and when Brexton turns 16, him and I can split that truck. He can run the shorter track races and I can run the bigger track races for two years because you have to be 18 to run the big tracks.”

“So for two years, we split it, and then when he is 18 he takes it over, and then when he runs full time, and takes it over and hopefully wins a championship and then he moves on and then I am out like I am done, that would be it for me. So that would probably put me around I guess 49-50 years old.”

“That’s the dream, I gotta make the dream a reality. We are working on that. I gotta have the life after the racing plan. I don’t have that one set yet, and if my Cup career is gonna be over in the next six or seven years, the time is ticking,” Busch concluded.

Brexton Busch is a budding driver, still finding his footing in the world of Karting, with the hopes of following in his father’s footsteps still has a long road to walk. However, with the set of the itineraries set by his father, it will be an interesting affair, to witness how this young soul lives up to the standard and carves his own name in the world of NASCAR.
