It has landed him on Peter Windsor’s wish list of potential drivers for a planned U.S.-based Formula One team.
Windsor, one of two businessmen behind the effort to field USF1 in 2010, mentioned Busch’s name earlier this week as an American driver the team would like to hire. Busch, who is signed with JGR through 2010, said he hasn’t been contacted by the team.

“It’s something that I’d love to give a shot at one day,” he said. “It was never on my radar.”
“Open-wheel stuff wasn’t, but it’s something that I wouldn’t mind trying. I wouldn’t mind trying IndyCars and running the Indianapolis 500 or Formula One. It’s not quite the time for me to do that yet.”
“If I could win a championships here in the next two or three years, then I wouldn’t mind going over there and doing that, trying it for a few years and coming back.”

“I think I’d still be young enough that if I could win a championship by 25, go run Formula One for a few years, be back by 28. I still have plenty of time left to run in NASCAR.”
