Kurt Busch stepping away from full-time competition in 2023

LAS VEGAS — Kurt Busch will be stepping away from full-time racing in 2023.

Busch made the announcement Saturday morning (Oct. 16).

Busch was sidelined in July after concussion-like symptoms after a crash in qualifying at Pocono Raceway. The 2004 series champion has missed the last 12 Cup Series races.

Xfinity Series regular Ty Gibbs has filled in for Busch during his absence.
