Kyle Busch in Formula One?
With talk of a new F1 team, to be based in Charlotte, N.C., Busch, at just 23, is one NASCAR star being eyed.
"Nobody's talked with me yet," Busch says.
"It's definitely something I wouldn't shoot down. But it's something I'd love to give a shot at some day.
"However it's not quite the time for me to do that yet. I need to try to dethrone Jimmie Johnson here first.
"Toyota gave me an opportunity to drive one (F1 car) last fall (in Japan), but we couldn't make it. Hopefully one day I'll get a chance to drive one and see if I'm any good at it.
"If I could run Formula One for a couple of years, when I'm 25, then I could come back to NASCAR when I'm 28."
