“I wouldn't mind it,” the 2005 NEXTEL Cup Rookie of the Year reflected when asked if he would contemplate a full-time switch, having previously joked that he wanted to move across the Pond into
F1 once he turns 30. “If I can do it and I'm good at it then I'll give it a shot and try it.
“We'll see how good I test first. We'll see if my neck can withstand the g-forces of the braking and everything.
“It seems as though the racing isn't all that great, though. They kind of get stuck in-line and the aero takes over everything.
“
Toyota is not necessarily one of those companies at the moment that is like
Ferrari or
McLaren, or [like]
Renault was a couple years ago. I don't think it is just a driver to put in the seat to make it go. You need a little bit more of a car.”
In recent years a number of single-seater drivers have made the move across to NASCAR rather than the other way around, with Juan-Pablo Montoya famously deserting the top flight for the American stock car series mid-season in 2006, and 1997 F1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve following suit last year. In a rare exception, four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon tested a
Williams in 2003 in a promotional event at Indianapolis, impressing the Grove-based outfit by lapping close to Montoya's times.
Busch also had some thoughts, meanwhile, on competing in the iconic Indy 500, re-iterating his desire to try anything once, even if he confessed he would probably ‘end up trying to kill [him]self' around the legendary Brickyard.
“I'd have to get a test in it and see if I'm any good at driving those cars,” he stated. “I have no idea. I tend to jerk on the wheel a little too much, so I'd probably end up trying to kill myself, to be honest with you.
“I think it would be something that would be pretty fun in the future. I wouldn't say it would be coming in the next five years or something, but probably after that.”
