Every NASCAR driver has their own way of snapping out of a slump. Jimmie Johnson turned to endurance sports and IndyCar to reignite his competitive edge after his Cup Series career plateaued. He took to competing in Ironman races and later racing full-time in IndyCar with Chip Ganassi Racing in 2022.
Kevin Harvick, known for his methodical approach, leaned heavily on long-distance cycling to maintain physical and mental stamina, even sharing his training on social media and during interviews. And Denny Hamlin? He’s found his reset in breaking down his performances and mindset weekly on his Actions Detrimental podcast.
Everyone’s got a code. For Kyle Busch, it’s dirt, family, and the raw chaos of short-track racing.
Kyle Busch’s struggles in the NASCAR Cup Series have continued into 2025, following his winless 2024 season – the first in his 19-year career. His average finish of 18.3 last year marked his worst since his rookie season in 2005, and despite early optimism at tracks like Phoenix and COTA, Busch has yet to find victory lane this season.
The upcoming Bristol race also poses a critical challenge. While Busch has historically shown flashes of brilliance on the half-mile bullring, his recent form tells a different story. Since 2022, he’s run four Bristol races with zero wins and an average finish of 26th. It’s a stat line that’s far from Rowdy’s standard. Frustrated by his prolonged slump, Busch has turned to dirt racing as a way to sharpen his skills and rediscover his competitive edge. “Back out here gettin dirty,” he wrote in a post on X.
