Kurt Busch

Kurt Busch is, to me, the embodiment of winning through sheer speed and stubborn will. The 2004 NASCAR Cup Series champion and 2017 Daytona 500 winner was never the easiest personality, and I think that fire was inseparable from his success; you do not survive a sport measured in fractions of a second without it. That he and his brother Kyle both reached the top is a remarkable family story. The University of Arizona background hints at a sharper mind behind the aggression. Even in retirement, his relentless, all-or-nothing driving is the image that sticks with me.
