2015 CUP SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP In Busch’s 11th full-time season in the Cup Series, with six Top 10 end-of-season points finishes under his belt, he finally broke through and won the championship. It was an incredible feat, considering he only competed in 25 of the 36 races that season. Busch broke his leg in a crash during the Xfinity Series race at Daytona to open the 2015 season, which sidelined him until the 12th race of the Cup Series. Busch came back strong and won five races, including the final race of the season at Homestead-Miami Speedway, to clinch the series championship. It was his first win at the Homestead track in the Cup Series. Kevin Harvick finished second in the race and also finished one point behind Busch for the championship. Busch passed Brad Keselowski after a late-race restart with only seven laps to go and pulled away from the field to secure the victory.

Watch as Kyle Busch wins his first Cup Series championship.
