After finishing seventh NASCAR cup series and qualifying for the Race for the Chase in 2007, Kurt Busch is looking for even more success in 2008. In fact, he’ll settle for nothing less than finishing first—a repeat of his 2004 championship.
Busch rose to prominence in 1998 winning the Rookie of the Year award in the NASCAR Southwest series and the series championship in 1999—the youngest driver ever to do so. Busch posted his first NASCAR Cup victory in 2002, finishing fourth overall.
