Kyle Busch isn't coming up with any New Year's resolutions ahead of 2025. The two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion explained in a recent interview that anytime he's made a resolution, he's not been able to stick to it as the year has gone by.

In an interview with Dirty Mo Media's Andrew Kurland on the Next Level with Andrew Kurland YouTube channel, the 63-time Cup Series winner was asked a variety of non racing-related questions, including if he had any New Year's resolutions.

"I do not have New Year's resolutions, no," Kyle Busch said. "Typically, I don't do a very good job of sticking to them. So, uh-uh." (5:09 onwards)

Busch was also thrown a few holiday-related questions, including how early he thought it was acceptable to start playing Christmas music to signify to start of the holiday season.

"There were actually people that were just getting their Christmas lights set up the day of Halloween," Busch said. "There should be a law against that. Way too early, way too early. Honestly, I think Christmas music doesn't need to start until [the day after Thanksgiving]." (2:19 onwards)

The Las Vegas native was asked if he could be trusted to cook a Thanksgiving dinner. Instead of cooking, Busch said his duties include setting the scene for the big dinner.

"I'm typically helping set up. I'm doing tables and chairs and decor and silverware and all that sorta stuff. I leave the kitchen and the cooking to the professionals." (4:18 onwards)

However, Busch revealed he and his family won't be home for Thanksgiving this year like they usually are, rather they'll be out in California during the holiday. The driver of the #8 car went on to make a reference to the classic movie, "A Christmas Story" to describe this year's Thanksgiving.

"This year's going to look a little bit different," Kyle Busch said. "We're travelling this year. We'll be out California, so we won't be home. We'll be doing 'fa ra ra ra ra' this year." (3:30 onwards)

Kyle Busch went winless for the first time in his career in 2024

After 19 straight seasons of capturing at least one NASCAR Cup Series win, Kyle Busch failed to find victory lane this season in his second year driving the #8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. The 39-year-old also failed to make the playoffs for the first time since 2012.

Busch also tied a career-worst finish in the points of 20th, the first time he's finished that low since his rookie campaign in 2005. In 2024, Busch notched five top fives, 10 top 10s, and one pole.

Busch joined RCR ahead of the 2023 season after spending 15 seasons with Joe Gibbs Racing, an organization he won two championships with. Busch piloted the RCR machine to three victories and a playoff spot in 2023, but was eliminated in the Round of 12.
