Kyle Busch, winner of eight races so far in NASCAR’s top three divisions, said Friday he will go to Japan to test a Toyota Formula 1 car, and take one of his Joe Gibbs Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup cars with him.

Busch said his ultimate ambitions may include racing in the international open-wheel series. “We'll see how good I test, first,” Busch said. “We'll see if my neck can withstand the g-forces of the braking and everything.

sounds like somone is admitting that an F-1 car is harder to drive than a NASCAR racecar.

I wish he'd step into a top-fuel dragster or funny car, and talk about g-forces.......

Doesn't sound like that at all to me. Yeah, real tough. Drive fast and don't get near another car.

Not to mention the great success the IRL/F1 drivers have had in nascar...

You do know that Tony came from IRL, right?

Kyle Busch would pass out behind the wheel if he made a run in a top-fuel dragster.

He was bored, wanted to race real cars and stepped up.

well none of us here drive at the level they do. Let them hash that out.

With luck, Kyle Busch will go join F1.

That'll present a new challenge for him - racing and not being able to wreck every car on the track.

I think it's great that he's trying to expand to different racing leagues.

I would have rather seen Tony Stewart get a shot at driving an F1 car, but kewl to see another NASCAR driver get an exhibition drive with an F1 car. I am sure he will be impressed with it's capability.

 

[vanbells]

I wonder how Jaun Pablo Montoyo would do in F1. LOL

I think it's awesome as well. He ought to keep looking as well.

I hope he will be impressed enough to leave NASCAR and go to F1.

I wonder how he did in F1 with his full-contact driving style.

 

[Michael Delaney]

Not trying to be smart or anything, but I doubt F1 would take Kyle Busch as a regular driver. Only 20 seats, and he has no open wheel experience. I do think that F1 would have liked to have Jeff Gordon a few years ago. I also imagine Tony Stewart would have been a clear choice too.
Montoya did very well actually. He certainly is a well rounded and talented driver.

Every week, Darrell Waltrip and the rest of the FOX Sports telecasters tell us Kyle Busch can drive and win in anything and that he's the greatest driver to step into a racecar. So, surely Kyle Busch can win in F1, I mean FOX says he can and the motorsports media is drinking the Kyle Busch and Joey Logano kool-aid right now. Perhaps they should try. :shrug:

We don't want Kyle Busch. Y'all can have him, his pompous attitude, his oversized ego, his squirrely front-end splitter and his supid-azz victory bow.

 

[Michael Delaney]

I agree that he is talented, but he doesn't have the experience. I really don't believe that a F1 team would accept a guy that has no open wheel experience. With just 20-22 seats open in F1, their are just too many other choices coming from other open wheel series.
I would like to see him go too. I would love to see an American, with good financial backing go to F1.

Well, there's a lot of talk about Danica maybe going to F1.

Personally, I think this would be smarter than going into NASCAR. Chrissy Wallace and Alli Owens are built for NASCAR, they can handle it. I don't think Danica can though.

I do agree, I love Juan Pablo and I think he's got a lot of talent. But he does cause a lot of wrecks. There's a lot of rumors he's going to go to Gibbs though. I think he'd do a lot better if he were in a good Spitcup team. Gannassi sucks, jmo.

I miss Michael Schumacher.
