January 23, 2026
Kurt Busch has been inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame along with fellow drivers Harry Gant and Ray Hendrick. The 47-year-old Busch, who won the first Cup Chase in 2004, was selected in his first year of eligibility by the NASCAR Hall of Fame Voting Panel last May. Nicknamed “The Outlaw,” Busch was known for his fiery temper and often found himself at the center of controversy. He won his only Cup Series championship at age 26. Busch won 43 races across NASCAR’s three national series, including 34 at the Cup level. He won the 2017 Daytona 500.
