Kyle Busch’s agent said the young NASCAR star would “certainly leave the door open” to try Formula One “at some point” after Busch’s name was mentioned during a press conference announcing a new American-based F1 team.
Officials with the USF1 team, which will be based out of Charlotte, said it would be interested in having Busch drive its car.
Busch is under contract at Joe Gibbs Racing through the end of next season.
“Obviously, it’s very flattering for him to be mentioned for a Formula One ride, especially an American-based team,” said Jeff Dickerson, Busch’s agent. “Thanks to Toyota, he was excited at the prospect of getting to test a Formula One car this past offseason.
“While it didn’t work out then, he would certainly leave the door open to try it out at some point. At the same time, he’s currently focused on winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series championships for Joe Gibbs Racing.”
I wouldnt want to see him leave. Granted I do not like him, I cant knock his ability to make big moves, and I got to admit, I think it would be boring without him
Whats up Ganja, I sorda agree with you it would suck to see Kyle leave, but I then again I would be curious to see how he would do in F1 cause thos guys are so restrained and stuck up he would spice it up, but i would love to see him stay here and see what he could make out of a nascar career.
Well, we all know robby can drive anything with 4 wheels…..
you know steve i thought about robby and smoke, especially smoke with his open wheel experience after all he was Irl rookie of the year and I believe he won a title there.

Smoke wouldn’t fit in an F1 car. l0l
kyle wouldnt last in f1 jus because the officials are so stuck up they dont let anybody race. hed get penalized everyother lap. he has the ability kick a$$ over there no doubt but f1 isnt meant for racers. plus i think kyle would get pissed driving in a parade.
I wonder what Scott Speed’s advice would be to Kyle?
He isnt going anywhere he’s just trying to get more money from his next contract extension.
