According to www.jayski.com, Kurt Busch has declined to drive the #43 Ford for Richard Petty Motorsports as most people thought he might do in 2012. Either he’s got something else up his sleeve for the Cup series, or he might drive for some other series other than Sprint Cup.
____________________________________________
Word is Busch declined RPM’s offer to be considered for the # 43 ride ending speculation the controversial driver would bounce back from his Penske departure with at least a 1A-type team ride. Busch has remained publicly quiet on what exactly he does have up his sleeve for next year and behind. He went on a very aggressive media blitz immediately after he and Penske parted ways and assured everyone there was interest on many fronts for his talents. There is speculation he is indeed following through on his thought of walking away from NASCAR for at least a year and running an NHRA Pro Stock car for the 2012 season, an off-shoot of his enjoyable time at last year’s Gatornationals. But with little brother Kyle’s Nationwide Series ride still open, many believe the Busch boys will indeed team up for next season in a combined NWS-truck series program out of the KBM stable.(Motor Racing Network)(12-22-2011)

Hopefully Kurt can still find something in the Sprint Cup Series for next year…it wouldn’t be quite as interesting without him.
