Kurt Busch's relationship with his brother & how he overcame obstacles | Waltrip Unfiltered Podcast

[@daytonafuntim]

Kurt: "Can you curse on here?" Mikey: "Yep." Kurt: "#?*!" LOL! Kurt has really matured. Glad for him and his wife.

[@michaelmcswain3747]

This was a really great interview, Kurt gave some great insight of how he is thinking of how he puts a car into a place to give him the best outcome...Kurt has definitely been on a roller coaster career. I thought I'd never pull for Kurt, but last few years the man has really made a change for the best!!!

[@theodorerinehart781]

Kurt really matured hope he sticks with cup for a few more years. He is a decent person

[@jim394]

I think Kurt always brings up great stories. I've really started to respect him more vs 10+ years ago when he was NASCAR's most hated driver at the time...before his brother took over that role lol

[@ericteneyck8691]

Problem is, Kurt's history is that just when we think he's finally matured he does something incredibly stupid. Hopefully, it's the real deal this time.

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

@@ericteneyck8691 What? Kurt is actually funny when he's mad. It's not even close how his brother acts when he's mad.

[@ericteneyck8691]

Run Ronaldo Run #THEBESTINTHEWORLD not talking about when he’s mad, those are funny, so unashamedly self serving comments that he says after races are great. I’m talking about his off track antics, run ins with the cops and other legal issues. Just seems like every few years he is involved in some scandal that was a result of some poor decision he’s made. I really hope that’s behind us. His talent isn’t even a question for me.

[@WheelerRickRambles]

I think he found the right woman...

[@nealhayes2077]

Following the '02 season and the last real season for the #28 (first driver I picked to follow in Nascar was Davey Allison & I stuck with the car for another 14 years) I needed a new driver to follow. I'd always followed a Ford and wanted to stay allegiant and I really liked the fire Kurt had behind the wheel. I've rooted for no one but Kurt since the Daytona 500 in '03 and am proud to say that I stuck with him through ALL of his highs and lows. Kurt is a true racer. A top notch wheelman and these days, a philanthropist and mentor. It'll be a sad day for me when he retires, but I'll always have the memories of epic battles and triumphant victories. From the #97 to the #2 to the #22 to the #51 to the #78 to the #41 & to the #1 it's been a helluva ride. Thanks for everything, Kurt. It's been an entertaining 17 years. 🏁👍

[@dr.jackkevorkian1119]

He was my favorite driver until Kyle became my fav. Truex Jr is my 2nd now though I really like another Kyle for some reason but I like Larson a lot too. I always liked Carl Edwards , it’s too bad he decided he’d had enough. I like Ryan Blainey and of course Chase Elliot as well.

[@dr.jackkevorkian1119]

Kyle Busch Martin Truex Jr. Kyle Larson Chase Elliot Kurt Busch Ryan Blainey Denny Hamlin Alex Bowman So that’s my order 😏

[@TheJTTaylor000]

I'm now a Kurt Busch fan. He has matured so much from his early years. Can't wait to see the movie Michael

[@patrickholt4134]

These interviews are great. Always have liked Michael Waltrip. Since Jr retired I'm a Busch brothers fan.

[@HLPC_2]

Can't wait for the movie Blink of an Eye to come out!

[@yrakcaz3064]

He really is a good guy. Hope he goes out with a Championship this season. Well deserved.

[@81casperflip]

The end of that Kentucky race was incredible. Can't believe neither one wrecked. They're the best brother duo to ever race in nascar

[@for146]

Never thought I'd be a big Kyle and Kurt fan but I respect the work they have both done to be the men they are today. I pull every week for both of them

[@robertruggles6067]

One of Kurt's best races and wins, Phoenix 2005

[@richjunker5575]

Great interview with Kurt. What a talented wheelman

[@taylorlachapelle4869]

I watched this whole thing and I have no regrette

[@michaelprevost1229]

Great stories Kurt Bush has come along way

[@curious_christian]

Such a great podcast. Michael Waltrip was made for this.

[@donaldmccall1276]

Thanks for the good times Kurt! You have matured in so many ways! You've become one of my favorites! Get em!!

[@dylangregory9855]

I was there when he won at Kentucky, never had more fun. That was awesome

[@strokeraceventura2550]

Pretty good interview. I hope Kurt ends up writing a pretty in-depth book after his driving career is over like so many other athletes. We don’t get many behind the scene stories from nascar and I think it’d be great from drivers with big personalities like him.

[@tonyscriven4588]

Thank you for sharing this #FOXSports #MichaelWaltrip #KurtBusch it was a pleasure to watch.

[@markadams3047]

Racing is about personalities and we have lost too many over the years hope Kurt sticks around for a while.

[@kevdonew1412]

mikey inside Winston cup was one the best shows you Kenny and johnny with allen was always on my tv thanks for reminding me !!!

[@aaronkristofer18]

To this day, the Phoenix race in 2005 where Kurt Busch won in the Irwin Tools car is the ONLY Cup race I've ever been to. So it was really really cool to hear them talk about it. Unfortunately, I don't remember much of the race itself.

[@937wigger]

That was really good to watch!

[@Yabby2011]

Kurt , you have come a long way since I started following you. I don't have a favorite Kurt race but I do believe you have made every team you raced for better. I started appreciating your racing career after watching you during the season in that 78 car. Look how successful that team was after you got involved. I also know your new #1 team , is on a great improvement curve. Keep up the great work.

[@podcastbunker]

Those have to be the most uncomfortable chairs on the planet.

[@HarryRacer18]

Actually, they are pretty comfy. It’s contoured and rocks.

[@GeekyFast]

What a cool episode! I was fortunate enough to see Mikey in West Palm Beach, FL at a fair to get his autograph on my 21st birthday. A class act. Kurt has always been entertaining and the work he does with Fox as a race broadcast analyst is top shelf!

[@ChristopherLScott]

This was a great interview. Thanks guys!

[@roguebodhi]

Great interview!!! The guy has a stack of wins and poles with a championship... Hes won in Chevy, Ford and Dodge and a Toyota kicker at Richmond... I'd bet he wins one more before the season is over and hopefully he sticks around another year or two. One of the cooler veterans in the 35 and older club

[@CSDonohue11]

More than just another yr or 2. Hopefully he has another decade + in him

[@dr.jackkevorkian1119]

Dude...that’s so Bad @ss.... I never even thought about him taking so many Guys on different teams to their 1st Cup Win. That’s HUGE. That’s SO AWESOME Dude. Popping cherry’s is always so memorable. They’ll never forget ya buddy. You’ll always be their 1st.

[@salad.1100]

i have this feeling that Kurt will get to do something similar to what Mikey’s doing now. he’s got a lot of stories, he knows a lot of people and it’s a real pleasure to listen to him. if he’d have a show or a podcast, i’d be always tuning in.

[@dedo7326]

I know this is 2 years ago but he’s been commentating on the xfinity races

[@victordelgado9945]

Great video show! With kurt Mike! Like to see you and kurt again, favorite pass time offtime

[@2jsalomon]

"did you brush anything weird?' lmao

[@Holly-qw5nm]

Great interview Mikey....love your podcast. It was awesome to see Kurt beat Kyle in my home state! Very exciting and entertaining win. Those two are funny....typical brothers.

[@thomasredden4263]

I watch this every once in a while just to feel like I'm having a talk with Kurt, my favorite driver bc he's the one I most want to get a beer with. Plus he's an amazing driver

[@tedzehnder961]

What gets me is after hundreds of races under their belts they still remember minute details of racing situations.I wonder if that is indicative of successful drivers,Real good memories.

[@ericbritz4143]

What a quote when referring to the teams first win, “I popped their cherry” amazing 😂

[@nealm6764]

Man Kurt is so Zen now. Awesome interview.

[@Unique_Racing]

Great interview thanks 😊

[@bobbarlow5580]

Love Kurt and Kyle Busch awesome people most of all the best racing 🏎️

[@davidmink6686]

All time favorite driver.

[@dr.jackkevorkian1119]

Great choice. He is very deserving.

[@packisbetter90]

Great video. Kurt's been my favorite driver for 15 years.

[@f1fan112]

Kurt's an awesome storyteller

[@OldStreetDoc]

There was a time early on where I honestly could not stand Kurt Busch. Example: I’ll just mention... Jimmy Spencer. But today? MAN, has he changed. He’s matured too the point that he’s very nearly a completely different person. So so glad to see that. Unless I’m missing something, he’s a pretty good dude now. Awesome for him, and awesome for us (me) to get to learn.

[@georgegarrison864]

Pahrump Nevada...first win...I was there. AWESOME

[@dr.jackkevorkian1119]

We need to see Kurt Busch Win @ least 1 more Championship !!! Both him and His brother need to get 1 or 2 more Championships. 🙏 Be nice to see them go Back to Back with each other. That would be cool.

[@mulehead3697]

I loved it when Kurt beat out Johnson and Gordon for 2004 championship. Great moment he beat out the establishment. Also I loved watching him in the trucks along with Biffle the killer B’s!!!

[@chrisshockey5845]

Lucky for you they implemented The Chase that year. Under the old points system Gordon wins the Championship. As he would've in 2007 and 2014. Giving him 7. I hate the chase and everything Nascar has become. Exactly why there's nobody in the stands anymore...

[@mulehead3697]

Chris Shockey should’ve would’ve could’ve maybe so. There isn’t no telling how many times I would’ve been a millionaire but that guy before me bought the winning lottery ticket every time. All I can say for sure is he beat them in 2004 For the cup championship.

[@chrisshockey5845]

@@mulehead3697 there's actually a website you can visit that calculates who would've been champion under the old system and Gordon would've won it '04, '07 and '14 which would've given him 7. I'm not making it up. It's actually a pretty cool site. Jayski racing is the site. Precious Jimmie would only have 4 . He never won one under the old system...

[@viningperformancemotorspor1457]

I just want to give Mikey a hug!

[@samnapier5277]

In this order.. 1.first win(bristol I was a kid there).. 2.Ricky craven Darlington... 3. wheel off still win championship

[@thejohnsons2123]

If this could have been posted with clips from all the races they are talking about that would have been awesome!

[@gasm1100]

Good stuff!

[@dottieburton5501]

Everyone loves a bad boy and lets face it Kurt Busch is one of the best bad boys lol Can't say I was a fan in the beginning but I am now and loved the race at Ky to see Kurt win against his little brother Kyle was great You go, Kurt, you still got a lot of racing in you yet to do and a whole new fan base to gain love you Kurt

[@dansfirebird455]

Kurt is great

[@Pwg1985]

Use to dislike Kurt. Meet him a few times at Gainesville raceway. But been enjoying him lately 👏🏻

[@BrockPageProductions]

Thanks a lot

[@mike44584]

I absolutely love this!! lol

[@Radiowild]

Can't wait to see the movie!

[@dr.jackkevorkian1119]

I love Horses 🐎 They are thee most amazing animal on this earth. Looking forward to being able to own 1 or 2 of my own 1 day soon.

[@r-urelentlessandunstoppable]

You should get Matt Kenseth on your show!

[@thehunterstruck]

AGREED

[@dr.jackkevorkian1119]

I’d like to see Kurt get @ least 1 more Championship before he retires, which could be coming pretty soon or he could race well over another decade with his wheel talents. Be dope to see him get 2 more , 1 in the next 2-3 years and then a walk-off in about 11 years. That would be cool Even if he gets 1 more in a few years and walks it off as a 2x Champion , that would be pretty cool too, other than I hope he races more than another decade @ least. Him & his brother can go another 20years and be those last connections to the days of Dale.

[@unclewiddy]

Good job guys

[@buffy62f1]

When it’s Waltrip Unfiltered *But they censor the curse words* Logic But other than that love the podcast keep it going

[@buffy62f1]

Wooosh

[@aaronkristofer18]

Wonder where his Vegas win stacks up on his all time list now :D

[@Grizz270]

For what its wourth...im not a fan or a hater of either of you 2 but i really did enjoy this chat ...but to kurt i gotta say i despise your little brother as a person (not that i know him )even though he is the best talent out there curently..love what your doing in that 1 car but i do hope johnson can pull out of his slump befor retirment ...i felt like i got to know a little bit more of you both and nascar because of this chat...signed ...just a poor boy in oregon

[@MRosati5000]

Still plugging the Monster lifestyle.. I like the sugar free flavor's. not every day.. once in a while for a treat.

[@CSDonohue11]

Kurt should have stuck with Rousch & Jimmy as his CC.

[@jameswaite6496]

I'm a Stewart fan so, now I root for his team. Saying that they NEVER should of not signed Kurt! Big mistake. That Kentucky race reminds me of good ole' door banging racing that made me a NASCAR fan.

[@Qwazier3]

Would love to be a mouse under the table at the Busch family get togethers.

[@MrJking065]

WOW! I like MW...But this is really great!

[@CSDonohue11]

Dude... Kurt would have been perfect in a Childress ride back then. He’d have fit that roll perfect. Not the team they have now , he’s better than. But it wouldn’t be a bad look, he’d be their best driver & face of Childress Racing. RC definitely made a bad call on that 1 , he should have signed Kurt. He’d look a lot better to have brought that 3 back in than RC’s overrated nephew.

[@Str8ShootinLoner81]

Hope Kurt wins the 2020 Daytona 500 today!

[@WheelerRickRambles]

Nice chair!

[@PeterKKraus]

Why did I think this was Dale Earnhart? Kurt should race in DPI or LMP

[@kingks3302]

GIVE YOU A 5 STAR??? YOU BETTER BELIEVE YOUR GUNNA EARN IT!!! GOD BLESS!!!

LOVE the THRONES!!!

[@williamwindex3890]

[@jasonvogue4487]

Mikey has monster shirt.... Kurts always Monster look way backl Kurt has almost everything with Monster

[@therealgrizadams]

Did Kurt Busch quote Carlos Stunts when talking about the 78?

[@dngnascar]

Mikeyyyyy and Kurt

[@americankid1237]

He just said Bye Bye Penske & Penske said Bye Bye Kurt

[@Cooper61319]

He looks like my uncle

Kurt is the GOAT.

[@stevereed8786]

With Kurt's disturbed personality it's a miracle this guy could have a relationship with anyone. What an odd duck. I alway get the feeling Kirt is either right out of the mental institution or just about to check back in.

[@shirleyholston6370]

I think Kurt is a wonderful driver and he's getting to be a wonderful wonderful person thank you Kurt
