Just last week at Martinsville, Chase Elliott made a triumphant return to Cup Series racing after recovering from a severe injury. As the dust cleared and the sidelined driver climbed back into his car, another driver, Kyle Busch, dropped a bombshell about his own health struggles.
“Well, I mean I don’t know how long he’s been walking for. But I don’t think it’s been very long.. maybe 14 days, so just the brunt load. Going for a jog.. I seriously doubt he’s doing that. When you’re in a racecar, you’re hitting that brake pedal and you’re pushing that. You’re pushing load through all of those joints down through the brake pedal. It’s going to be an uncomfortable scenario for him for the next little bit and what all happens.”
“Since then, I’ve been alright with it. I’ve had little bouts here or there with probably the first signs of arthritis and whatnot, from just the joints and everything. But otherwise, I’ve been good.”
Back in 2015, even Busch suffered a similar fate to that of Chase. Busch faced a major setback when he broke his leg in the closing laps of the Xfinity Series race at Daytona International Speedway. With a never-say-die attitude, he made a swift recovery and promptly returned to the driver’s seat.
