NASCAR veteran Kyle Busch has been encouraged by fellow driver Denny Hamlin to consider retiring from racing to pursue a broadcasting career. At 39, Busch boasts an impressive record of 232 wins across NASCAR’s three national series over a 20-year span. Recently, he showcased his broadcasting skills by calling the Xfinity Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for The CW, earning positive reviews from industry reporters. 
Hamlin, speaking on his “Actions Detrimental” podcast, praised Busch’s performance, suggesting he should “quit racing” to focus on broadcasting. Despite a challenging 2024 season—marked by a 62-race winless streak and a 33rd-place finish at Las Vegas due to car issues—Busch remains competitive in the NASCAR Cup Series standings. He has also expressed interest in future broadcasting roles, engaging fans on social media about potential opportunities.
Beyond broadcasting, Busch has outlined a retirement plan centered around his son, Brexton. He envisions retiring from Cup racing when Brexton turns 15, spending a year in the Truck Series to pursue a championship, and then sharing the truck with Brexton until he turns 18. This plan would allow Busch to mentor his son while gradually stepping away from full-time racing.
While Busch continues his racing career, the prospect of transitioning to broadcasting remains a topic of discussion, reflecting his multifaceted involvement in motorsports.
