Age doesn't matter to Kyle Busch

| | Comments (0) |

Kyle Busch is gearing up for a busy NASCAR season. He will be driving in the top three NASCAR national series. In addition to racing for Joe Gibbs Racing at the Cup level, he will be in Nationwide Series races for Joe Gibbs Racing and Braun Racing as well as Truck Series races for Billy Ballew Motorsports.
He will also be one of the youngest drivers in all three divisions. But Busch said being the youngest driver on the track is nothing new.
"I've been with that my whole career really," said Busch, driver of the No, 18 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing in the Sprint Cup Series. "I've raced in legend cars at home, modifieds and late models where there were guys I was racing against who were 45 and 50 years old that had grandkids older than I was."
It's not the age of the driver that matters to Busch. It's the ability of the driver that concerns him.
"There are plenty of them that have talent and are up there in the years," Busch said. "Dale Jarrett sure hasn't given up much, Mark Martin is sure right there and all those guys that sure love doing it."
