The American professional stock car racing driver celebrates his birthday on 4th<\/sup> August. Having been born in 1978, his current age is 40 years. He was born in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was as Kurt Thomas Busch, and his father is Kurt Busch. His mother\u2019s name is Gaye Busch. He is an American of white ethnicity.<\/p>\n The 2004 NASCAR premier series champion also has a brother, Kyle Busch. He did his High school studies at Durango High school before proceeding to the University of Arizona where he graduated with a degree in pharmacy. This was despite the fact that since he was a child, his passion had always been in car racing.<\/p>\n His great passion for car racing is attributed to his father who was also a car driver. At the age of six years, he used to accompany his father to the tracks, and he also drove go-carts<\/a> himself. It appears the same passion was also transferred to his young brother who at one point served as Kurt Busch\u2019s crewman.<\/p>\n The execution of his passion started out with his father\u2019s dwarf car while a teenager. Amazingly, Kurt won a competition during his second try at the Las Vegas Speedway Park. This was a great motivation to him and his father. As a sign of great things which were to come, the young Kurt Busch went ahead to win ten consecutive races. This left his father with no doubt as to what his son was cut out to do.<\/p>\n Consequently, his father was left with no option but to lay off his dwarf car and get a powerful \u201cmachine\u201d for his young champion in the year 2014. However, it was not until 1996 when Kurt Busch was 18 years old that he started racing with the new car.<\/p>\n From the age of 14 years, the 2013 highest paid NASCAR driver has raced with many different teams.\u00a0 He has been with Roush Racing (200-2005) Penske Racing South (2006-2002), Penske Championship Racing (20009-2010), Penske Racing (2011), Phoenix Racing (2012), Furniture Racing (2012-2013)\/ and Stewart-Haas Racing where he has been since 2014.<\/p>\n Kurt Busch has a great list of achievements in his career. He has won 30 Cup career races in his life so far. He won the Nextel Cup Series in 2004. A 2006 win in the Busch Series made him one of only 31 drivers to win races in all three of NASCAR\u2019s top divisions. He also won races in Coca-Cola in 2011 and NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race in2010, Budweiser Shootout in 2011, and Daytona 500 in 2017.<\/p>\n Racing Driver, Kurt Busch car<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n The world-renowned car racer currently competes in full-time in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series<\/a>.

Once again, their relationship would later turn ugly when he claimed that Patricia was a CIA agent and a trained assassin.
