Believe it or not, Kurt Busch could have a challenging road ahead of him in 2022. This is due to NASCAR's charter system rule, which issues 36 charters for teams to compete every week in the Cup Series. The other four slots in the field are filled by teams wishing to compete in the upcoming race.  While those positions used to be filled by qualifying, the onset of the pandemic has forced NASCAR to set the field by random draw, making getting in a race a crapshoot.

Now, 23XI Racing was in talks with Front Row Motor Sports about acquiring the charter of the #34 Michael McDowell or the #38 of Anthoney Alfredo, but talks fell through earlier in the season. It's believed that Hamlin and 23XI Racing are now in discussions with Spire Motorsports to gain a charter, but nothing is set in stone yet. Unfortunately for Kurt Busch and the rest of the organization, that means they might end up going into 2022 completely blind.
