This week’s conversation is with NASCAR champion, Kurt Busch.

In 2019, Kurt made the move to Chip Ganassi Racing to become the driver of the No. 1 Monster Energy Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series

Kurt has more than 650 career starts in the MENCS spanning over 21 years of competition.

He’s made 12 appearances in the NASCAR Playoffs including six consecutive appearances.

In addition to being the 2004 MENCS Champion, he also has marquee wins in the NASCAR All-Star race, Coca-Cola 600 (2010) and the Daytona 500 (2017).

Kurt is a fierce competitor and his resume speaks for itself… he understands what it takes to win.

In this conversation, Kurt shares how that same mentality that propelled him to countless victories also almost derailed his career.

We discuss the importance of relationships and how evolving his approach – from transactional to transformational – has reinvigorated him in the second half of his career.

Kurt also describes what it’s like inside a race car traveling at 200mph.

The level of focus required is intense – and recovering from a 3-hour race is no joke.
