As the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads to Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth for Sunday’sAAA Texas 500, Kyle Busch is hoping to be doing the Texas Two-Step yet again in the Lone Star State.
After sweeping the NASCAR Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series races there in April 2013, Busch, driver of the No. 18 M&M’s Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR), hopes he can at least equal his impressive weekend there in 2013, which saw him lead eight times for a race-high 171 laps and bring home his first Texas win in NASCAR’s top series.
This past April, while Busch didn’t visit victory lane at Texas, he brought home another solid top-five finish with a third-place run in the Duck Commander 500. The finish was his third top-five in his past five starts at Texas and seventh top-five in 18 starts at the 1.5-mile oval.
While the 2013 Sprint Cup win was his first there, Busch has been no stranger to victory lane at Texas. He reeled off an incredible string of five consecutive NASCAR Nationwide Series wins there from April 2008 to April 2010. Add his two NASCAR Camping World Truck Series wins in November 2009 and 2010 and it’s no wonder Busch is eyeing three wins this weekend as he’s entered in the Sprint Cup, Nationwide, and Truck Series races.
That could all begin for Busch with his second Texas win of the year Sunday, when he and his M&Ms team look to add yet another signature cowboy hat and six-shooters as race winner in the Lone Star State to Busch’s steadily growing trophy collection.
