Statistics say everything for Kurt Busch. He has won 34 races from the Nascar Cup, including a Daytona 500 and a Cup championship.
Or they?
That will be the decision raised for the voters of the Nascar Hall of Fame on May 20 when they try to decide White Busch a first voting selection in the sanctuary.
Complete dissemination: I am on the panel.
The panelists vote for two of the 10 nominees of the ballot of the modern era and one of the five nominees of the pioneer ballot. The two pilots of the Modern Era Ballot who won most of the votes and the only driver of the pioneer vote with most votes win places in the Nascar Hall of Fame.
Busch is tied in general position in victories. All drivers ahead of him who is eligible to be in the Hall of Fame has an improved bone. Each pilot with a cup championship that is eligible is also in the hall.
Busch has more victories than any other driver on the ballot of the modern era and none of the driver nominees has won a cup title.
The drivers on the modern era are Busch, Jeff Burton (21 Cup of the Cup), Greg Biffle (19 Cup of Victories and an Xfinity title and a truck), Neil Bonnett (18), Harry Gant (18), Randy Lajoie (twice champion) and Jack Sprafion. Randy Dorton (whose engines won nine championships in the National Series of Nascar), Tim Brewer (twice head of the Cup champions) and Harry Hyde (a cup championship as head of the crew) are also on the electoral ballot.
If people question the white bus, it must be voted in the first vote, it will be because or its volatile driving possession.
Busch often collided with the media and occasionally with other drivers. Jimmy Spencer hit him infamously on his face after a race.
He was suspended for a race in 2012 for threatening a journalist. Complete dissemination: I am that reporter.
He was suspended by three races in 2015 after a civil order was issued without contact against him for alleged domestic abuse. The suspension rose when it was determined that criminal charges would be presented.
He drove for seven racing equipment.
Most of these organizations would accredit Busch for improving them in some way. The intensity and knowledge of busch cars rarely coincided. He pushed people. And when he worked with people in high pressure situations who did not take things, he said personally in the heat of the moment, they happened.
Nascar de Busch’s career has been inactive since he suffered a brain shock in an accident in Pocono in 2022. His injury generated a significant discussion about security problems with the next -generation car and created an urgency to fix the issue.
How many victories would have won if your career were not cut? It is difficult to say it, but the fact that 23xi kept him close to help the team after his injury says a lot about what he means for the organization.
The states do not lie. It will simply depend on voters, who do not receive parameters for their criteria to vote. They can take into account how they feel the person’s character if you wish, but there is no requirement that you owe.
The fact is that there are 25 drivers with wins of the Ferwer Cup that Busch that are in the Hall of Fame. That should convince enough voters to put it.
