In a sense, Kurt Busch should feel less stress in 2012.
Even though he had to take what was the equivalent to a demotion after being released by Penske Racing, Busch is likely to feel pressure once again.
It will be of a different flavor than in seasons past.
Now, he must drive well enough and conduct himself in an acceptable manner in order to get back to one of the premier teams in the sport.
Busch has the talent, but does he have the ability to control himself during the course of an entire season? For Busch, 2012 will be all about managing pressure-packed situations in order to move on from his current ride at Phoenix Racing.
