Kurt Busch, one of NASCAR’s celebrated champions, is taking time out from his racing career to embrace the more personal side of life. Since retiring from full-time racing in 2023, the accomplished driver with 34 race victories, who also claimed the 2004 Cup Series Championship and won the 2017 Daytona 500, took his girlfriend to Disneyland.
Busch’s return to Disneyland is his first since he was 12 years old, and he shared the experience with his followers on X with the playful caption:
“Warning! Here comes my Disneyland photo dump. I haven’t been here since I was 12 years old. Thanks @Disneyland, we had a blast!” His post featured pictures and video of the couple.
Busch and Moore also attended an NFL game at the Bank of America Stadium, witnessing the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the Carolina Panthers, and supported his brother, Kyle Busch, at a USAC Midget Series race in Ventura, California.

Fans eagerly commented on his posts, sharing their well-wishes during the NASCAR off-seasons. Comments flooded in, with one fan saying, “Looks like you two had lots of fun! Merry Christmas!” Another commented on how crazy it would be to run into the driver at Disneyland: “Imagine going to Cars Land and seeing Kurt Busch—I’d lose it!”
Despite stepping away from the motorsport that defined much of his life, Busch remains connected still. His role as a motorsport consultant for 23XI Racing, a team co-owned by the legendary Michael Jordan and racer Denny Hamlin, ensures his influence within NASCAR is maintained.
Earlier this year, Busch was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. His blood-alcohol level was 0.17% at the time of driving, with the legal limit in North Carolina being 0.08%.
He later broke his silence, saying the following:
“I take full responsibility for my recent DWI arrest and deeply regret my actions. I voluntarily completed a pre-trial assessment and followed all recommendations ahead of my court date.
“I’m committed to making amends, ensuring this never happens again, and returning to racing with a renewed focus. Thank you to everyone who has supported me.”
He added: “I’m very disappointed in myself and I apologize to my family, my racing family, and to my fans.
“I will work with the authorities to rectify the situation and work with the county to make it a safer place in the future.”
Busch faced a 60-day suspended sentence, a 12-month term of unsupervised probation, and the turning over of his driving license.
