Kurt Busch 2016 Preview
By Richard Tix
All kinds of news surrounded Kurt entering the 2015 season. He was sidelined by NASCAR because of investigations going on in his personal life. He missed the Daytona 500 and then the next two races to start the season.
Not much was going his way after a disappointing 2014 season, which was his first with SHR. In a career full of ups and downs, it wasn't looking good for Kurt, that was until NASCAR officially cleared him to get back in and driver.
He got to step back behind the wheel at Phoenix and it finally felt like the pieces were falling back into place for him. It had been awhile since Kurt seemed to have it all together, but in 2015 it sure seemed like it.
Moving forward to 2016, he will enter the season with only racing on his mind which might be the best thing that has happened to him since getting another shot with Furniture Row and then SHR.
Bold Predictions/2016 Season Expectations:
- Last year I was down on Kurt's outlook. A poor 2014 and the suspension didn't give me much hope in how 2015 would turn out. Well, maybe the off the track issues were holding him down in 2014. He now has a clear head going into 2016. I expect Kurt to once again get a win or two, 8-9 top 5's, and 17-19 top 10's. All of them are down a bit from his numbers in 2015, but I think he will have just as good, if not better, at a shot at a title in 2016.
