Kyle Busch

Kyle Busch is a professional driver in the NASCAR circuit.

Busch grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada. He began racing go-carts when he was only six years old. Later, he gained professional experience at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. When he was 16, he drove a truck in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, causing NASCAR to implement a rule banning drivers under the age of 18. When he turned 18, Busch began driving in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. He began driving in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2005. Busch missed the 2009 Sprint Cup chase, losing the last spot to Brian Vickers.

Kyle Busch won the NASCAR Nationwide Series in 2009. He won nine races. He led in 2698 laps to set a record for a single season.http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/80288 Kyle Busch was involved in a huge 10 car crash at the 2009 Daytona 500 during lap 124. The crash was instigated by Dale Earnhardt Jr., who attempted to pass Brian Vickers. When Vickers blocked Earnhardt, and tried to move back into position, Earnhardt caught the back of Vickers and triggered a major crash. As a result, Kyle Busch was eliminated from the race.

On February 21, 2009, Busch became the first driver to win two NASCAR national touring series races in the same day. He placed first in the San Bernardino County 200 and the Stater Brothers 300, both held at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California.ESPN.com: Busch Leads 143 of 150 Laps in Win

Kyle stated Kyle Busch Motorsports way back in 2003, as a way to field cars in other racing series when he did not have NASCAR commitments. By 2009 he had grown into a nine car operation that fielded teams in many different series.

Beginning with the 2010 season the team bought enough equipment to run two full time entries in the Camping World Truck series. Kyle and Brian Ickler compete in the #18 truck, while Tayler Malsam competes full time in the #56 truck. http://www.kylebuschmotorsports.com/page.php?page=team

The transition to team owner in one of NASCAR top three divisions has not been a smooth one as many problems have arsine over the construction of the team’s new shop facilities, and the loss of their primary sponsor just before the 2010 Truck season was set to begin. Kyle has pieced together sponsorship as they have gone, and earned the team’s first truck series victory at Nashville early in the 2010 season. Kyle backed that up with another win at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May of 2010. http://racing-reference.info/drivdet/buschky01/2010/C

To get his team off the ground right Kyle hired Rick Ren, formerly of Kevin Harvick Inc. to be his Director of Competition. Ren has four decades of NASCAR experience and has twice led driver Ron Hornaday to a Truck series title.
