NASCAR gets a two-fer by naming both Kurt and Kyle Busch.
called that group “the men who define the competition of our sport.” He added, “Their accomplishments are the benchmark that much of our history is identified by. Honoring them in this way, at the beginning of the NASCAR 50th anniversary celebration, is one way of showing our true appreciation for them and the invaluable contribution they have given over the past 50 years. These are the drivers who made and make NASCAR fans stand on their feet and cheer.
The original “50 Greatest Drivers” were from the Modified, Xfinity Series, and Cup Series. The Craftsman Truck Series was too young to have had any “greatest drivers,” but that’s expected to change with this new group.Both have accomplished almost everything imaginable in racing, so it seems thoroughly appropriate that brothers Kurt and Kyle Busch have been named together to NASCAR’s list of its “75 Greatest Drivers.
His most recent victory was with 23XI Racing last spring at Kansas Speedway. He missed much of 2022 and hasn’t raced at all this year since suffering head injuries in a crash at Pocono Raceway last summer. His record in 776 career starts shows 28 poles, 34 victories, 161 top-5 finishes, 339 top-10 finishes, and nine top-10 points seasons. He’s also won five Xfinity races and four in the Craftsman Truck Series, where he was points runner-up to Greg Biffle in 2000.
Among Busch’s most notable Cup victories: eight at Bristol, six at Richmond, five at Fontana , four at Fort Worth, and two each at Chicago, Atlanta, Elkhart Lake, Indianapolis, Talladega, Martinsville, and Kansas. Like his older brother, he’s a virtual lock for the NASCAR Hall of Fame. NASCAR will unveil the final four of its new 25 “greatest” leading into next weekend’s Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. It’s a pretty safe bet they will be former Cup Series champions and future Hall of Fame drivers Matt Kenseth, Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano, and Jimmie Johnson.
