The NASCAR world is in mourning following the shocking death of legendary driver Kyle Busch. Busch was just 41 years old.
Busch’s passing came just hours after news surfaced that he was hospitalized and would miss this weekend’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course in North Carolina due to a severe illness.
The tragic news will cast a dark cloud over this weekend’s festivities, where Busch will surely be honored. As one of the most decorated drivers in the sport’s history, Busch left a forever imprint and will be remembered as one of the greatest of all time.
As we mourn and remember Busch, let’s take a look back at his legendary career, which includes 63 Cup Series wins, two titles, and more than $200 million in career earnings.

Busch began racing in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2005, winning titles in 2015 and 2019. Throughout his career, Busch had 63 wins.
Busch earned the 2005 Rookie of the Year honors and became the first driver in the modern era to win at all active tracks the series competed at during the current season, after winning the 2018 Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
He is also the winningest driver in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts and Craftsman Truck series history.
