"It's an amazing feeling,"
"It's a journey that this blue-collar kid from (Las) Vegas never expected. All of these trips down memory lane talking with everyone and the different teams I was with, all the great racers that I raced against. It's been an amazing journey."
"So, I was coming down on the access road, and it's starting to vibrate bad like it's coming apart. Something's going down. It broke right there. I know I'm wrecking, and I'm like, 'My day's done.' Something took my left foot off the brake pedal to allow that left front tire just to gain a little bit of turn and to stay away from the barrels and the embarrassment of running into the end of the pit wall."
Kurt Busch, 47, was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame alongside Harry Gant and Ray Hendrick. He began racing dwarf cars in Nevada and rose quickly to the Cup Series, bypassing the Busch Series because of his talent. Nicknamed "The Outlaw," he was known for a fiery temper and frequent controversy. Busch won the inaugural 10-race Chase championship in 2004 at age 26 after a right-front tire failure threatened his race; he finished fifth to secure the title. He won 43 races across NASCAR's three national series, including 34 Cup victories.
