Former NASCAR driver Kurt Busch recently talked about when he worked for two months, wiping floors and cleaning machines at a shop in Vegas, to pay for an axle.
During a clip of Racers Roundtable with Danny Sullivan and Tony Stewart, Busch shared the story of ending up at a machines shop in Vegas.
Busch admitted to using the advice and started to make better choices on the track and when Sullivan referenced the Karate Kid’s Mr Miyagi, he laughed and agreed.
This week’s Racers Roundtable will air on Wednesday at 10 pm ET on MAVTV and MAVTV GO.
Kurt Busch is set to return to racing for the first time since retiring early from NASCAR. He will compete in the Race of Champions on March 7 and 8 in Sydney, Australia. The 46-year-old retired from the NASCAR Cup Series after a big crash at Pocono in August 2022. He had 34 Cup wins, including the 2017 Daytona 500, in over 770 starts.
Busch will join the event for the third time at the 1km asphalt track around the Accor Stadium in Sydney. He first raced in the Race of Champions for Team USA in 2014 and again in 2017 with his brother, two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch.
In 2022, while racing full-time for 23XI Racing in the No. 45 Toyota, Kurt Busch was involved in a crash during qualifying and missed five races while recovering from a concussion. He later withdrew from the playoffs and announced his retirement in August 2023.
