As the 34-time winner of the Cup Series made his first media appearance at a track since July at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Busch spoke about how his recovery process has been going and said: “I’m doing good. Each week is better progress, I feel good, and I don’t know when I’ll be back, but time has been the challenge. He’s, Father Time is the one in charge on this one.” The Las Vegas, Nevada native has been filling his time off the track by supporting worthwhile causes such as painting Charlotte Motor Speedway's pit road wall pink in support of breast cancer survivors. The final race of the NASCAR playoffs Round of 12 at Charlotte Roval will also see the return of Busch's 'Window of Hope' initiative, which will see the Cup Series car's window nets replaced with pink-colored ones.

Kurt Busch hopeful of making a return to the Cup Series this year

Kurt Busch, after his concussion-inducing crash at Pocono Raceway in July, has been on the back foot. The 44-year-old hasn't been able to clear medical checks that declare him fit to race. The sabbatical, which has lasted 10 races and counting, has been a learning experience for the 23XI Racing driver as he finds out more about his injuries in his time off the track. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post 23XI Racing co-owner Denny Hamlin has indicated that his seat on the team will be ready for him whenever he clears medical checks. Busch elaborated on whether he thinks a return is possible this year and said: “I feel hopeful, I know that I have more doctor visits and more distance to go, and I keep pushing each week. And TPC, Toyota Performance Center, has been a group of angels that have helped me with the workouts and the vestibular (inner-ear and balance) workouts, different nutrition as well, the different supplements and things to help everything re-balance with my vision, my hearing and just overall balance in general.” Kurt Busch aims to utilize his time off the track by spreading awareness about breast cancer and commemorating National Breast Cancer Awareness Month this September, along with focussing on his recovery.
