Kurt Busch

The last driver to attempt the Indy-Charlotte double, Kurt Busch made his lone Indianapolis 500 appearance in 2014 driving an Andretti Autosport Honda. He qualified 12th and avoided a late crash to finish sixth, earning the Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year Award. He finished 40th in the Coca-Cola 600 later in the day when the engine in his Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet expired.
