Kurt Busch Career Statistics
Race-by-Race Chart
2008 Season Outlook
Kurt Busch's career has taken a serious nosedive since his 2004 Championship campaign. He missed the Chase both of the next two seasons, and looked for a fresh start this past season with a new team in Richard Childress Racing, but an All-Star Race injury sidelined him for 6 races. He rallied to get back to 25th place in the points and did earn a win prior to his injury, but even after he came back, he wasn't performing consistently at a high level. That's what prompted the crew chief change for this season, as Shane Wilson takes over atop the #33 pit box. With a full offseason to heal and re-focus for 2008, Busch should be able to get back to posting double digit top 10s, and will likely challenge for a Chase spot. He's too talented to miss it for a 4th straight season.
