2019 CUP SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP Four years after Busch’s first Cup Series championship victory, he hoisted the trophy again. This time, he was able to run the full 36 races. Busch still won the same number of races (five), but he finished 17 times in the Top 5 and had 27 Top 10 finishes. He beat Martin Truex Jr. for the title despite Truex Jr. winning two more races than Busch. Busch had the highest average finish of any driver that season with an average of 8.9, almost a full position higher than Truex Jr. He also had more Top 10 finishes than any other driver during the season. Busch capped off the winning season with a win at Homestead Miami Speedway, just like he did in 2015. It’s only the second time Busch has ever won at Homestead in the Cup Series. Truex Jr. finished second in the race but was more than 4.5 seconds behind Busch.
