Kurt Busch and Pagenaud sharing concussion experience together
Kurt Busch understands the challenges that Simon Pagenaud is facing after experiencing a concussion that ended his season early. Pagenaud’s crash at Mid-Ohio in June resulted in a suspected brake failure, causing him to roll through the gravel and suffer from lingering concussion symptoms. Despite being released by the IndyCar medical team, Pagenaud has not been cleared to race and Busch has been offering support through texts and phone calls. Busch, who himself retired due to a concussion in 2022, has worked with different neurologists and has learned that there are various types of concussions with different factors that can affect recovery time. He emphasizes that there is no set timeline for Pagenaud’s return and compares it to injuries in other sports where individual factors must be considered.
