Las Vegas native Kurt Busch is entering into his first season with 23XI Racing and even has a new teammate in Bubba Wallace. Of course, questions were quickly raised about how the two hotheads would mesh together, especially with how competitive both drivers are, but it appears that Busch has made his expectations of the young driver quite clear. 

"I want him to admit what he's weak at, and I'll admit what I'm weak at, and let's go and work together," Busch told The Athletic regarding his new teammate. "I mean, I'm not the oracle or anything, but I feel like I can help him. And I know I can learn things from him because that's how I think I've stayed relevant for 22 years is continuing to learn and being adaptive to the situations."

Whether the two end up being good teammates or not remains to be seen, but this looks like a promising future for both Bubba Wallace and 23XI Racing as a whole. They now have a year of experience under their belt, a new-gen car to mess around with, and a veteran driver in Kurt Busch.
