Busch holds the record for most wins in the history of the Xfinity Series while also tying a legend for most consecutive seasons in the Cup Series with a win. While some seasons have been dominant, he has also shown a flair for the dramatic, winning crucial races over his closest competitors when it mattered most. The sure-fire NASCAR Hall of Famer embarked on a new challenge in 2023. He left Joe Gibbs Racing after 15 years with the team, joining Richard Childress Racing instead. After a decade and a half in a Toyota, the move took Busch back to driving a Chevy, as he did to start his Cup Series career. Busch entered his tenure at Childress having won a Cup Series race in 18 straight seasons, dating back to his 2005 rookie season in the No. 5 Chevy. That is a record Busch shares with none other than NASCAR’s King, Richard Petty. One win in the 2023 season would set him apart in the record books. In December 2022, Busch made his first official event with Childress a huge success, winning the World Racing League two-day endurance event at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. The two time Cup Series champ was joined by new RJR teammates Austin Dillon and Sheldon Creed to capture the checkered flag in the eight hour race. It was the first small step in what Busch hoped would end in a giant leap to a third Cup Series title. Here’s a look at eight of the defining and greatest moments of Kyle Busch’s career.
