After feuding over his contract negotiations with owner Jack Roush, Busch was finally let go in the last month of the season. With two races to go, Roush let Busch step out of the car two races earlier as he was suspended by Roush for the remainder of the Cup Series season in response to a police altercation in Phoenix. As a first year member of Team Penske in , Busch scored one victory, seven top-fives and 12 tops and finished 16th in the final rundown. In , Busch had his best season-to-date behind the wheel of the No.
Although he won one race in , Busch recorded his worst points finish 18th in the standings since his rookie season. Busch bounced back in , leading the Dodge brigade with a fourth-place finish in the point standings, and brought the Team Penske Miller Lite Charger into victory lane twice. The Cup Series season marked the end of an era for Busch who drove his final campaign behind the wheel of the iconic Penske Racing Miller Lite Dodge.
Busch moved to the No. Unfortunately for Busch his did not end with a good memory. Although he qualified for the playoffs, Busch was not able to perform to the best of his ability once the race playoff race began.
A string of poor finishes and mechanical problems added up to drop Busch down the standings and he finished the campaign 11th, points behind champion Jimmie Johnson.
Despite the end-of-year disappointment, there were highlights for Busch along the way including nine top fives, 17 top 10s, two poles and a pair of victories as well as a trip to Victory Lane in the All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
This magnificent person is popular among his fans. People love to follow him. People accepted him as their ideal. He is also active in social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and others. Several sites contain detail information about his life and bio. Kurt Busch has married twice in his life. He first tied the knot with his girlfriend, Eva Bryan, in , on July Their wedding ceremony was held in Virginia, United States. He further exchanged the wedding vows with his long-term loving girlfriend, Ashley Van Metre.
The couple got married on 7 June , on the Caribbean island of Saint Barthelemy. The couple is living happily together without any rumors of divorce. His height is five feet and 11 inches. That was a big attraction for the team where Busch will start the next, and perhaps final, chapter of his career behind the wheel. That left Busch without a ride for ; until the 23XI announcement.
There's not, I think, a better suited athlete to join the ranks of 23XI and Toyota. But it just all worked out great where now we get a championship winning driver and a race-winning driver on a weekly basis to essentially analyze our team and see where we stack up and kind of set the bar to push our team to continue to move forward.
The timing and the people and the relationships are making this happen. When he does end his career, Busch will likely be using his knowledge and experience to help others in the sport. What others will get is not the young, brash, in your face driver, that seemed to create controversy wherever he went early in his career, but a Kurt Busch who has matured. We put a championship effort together and he taught me a lot about leadership. I want to always make them better because if I can make them better, they will make me better and ultimately the whole program will be more successful.
They already have an eye towards the future; a future that will include the same type of sponsorship model they have with Kurt Busch. We would love to have long-term relationships with all those. We believe it's a long-term relationship with an that athlete pays off. For the immediate future, however, the main focus for Monster Energy will be on the driver who started it all. And for Kurt the future will be with a long-term sponsor he knows well and knows will be with him to the end.
