NASCAR Cup Series

Busch is Back… If there’s one track Camry driver Kyle Busch is known for it’s Tennessee’s Bristol Motor Speedway. Busch is already on a tear this season, posting top-three finishes in his last five races – including his first win a week ago at Texas Motor Speedway – and leads the Monster Energy NACAR Cup Series (MENCS) standings. Busch now heads to Bristol where last fall he swept a combined MENCS, NASCAR Xfinity Series (NXS) and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) weekend for the second time in his career – and Busch is the only driver to do so, let alone twice. When it comes to putting his Camry out front, Busch has led more than twice as many laps as any other active driver at the 0.533-mile short track and has six MENCS wins, the most among active drivers.

For anyone who loves NASCAR-style auto racing, from drivers to fans and every one in between, any trip to Bristol Motor Speedway is a memorable one, especially that first visit.
