The definitive documentary on NASCAR outlaw and Las Vegas native Kurt Busch airs on Speed TV tonight; check out a preview from the highlights reel. It’s the story of our hero and anti-hero who went to the top of his game, then slid to the bottom with tirades against the media and fellow drivers, followed by fights -- and now his climb back to the top again.
Call him champion, competitor, racer, troublemaker or enigma, but there’s no doubt that he also is an outlaw. “The documentary addresses the majority of the 2012 racing season,” Kurt said. “And it gives viewers an honest and accurate portrayal. The behind-the-scenes footage also will entertain and educate about the private and public sides of me.”
It is absolutely must-watch TV even if you aren’t a NASCAR fan. Here’s a clip of the Talladega segment.
