This week the NASCAR Nationwide Series will return to the famed Indianapolis (Ind.) Motor Speedway (IMS) where they will compete for only the second time in series history. During last year’s inaugural event, Kyle Busch dominated the field, leading 51circuits of the 100-lap race, until an accident forced the owner-driver into the grass and onto pit road, with costly time lost that took away Busch’s chance at completing victory in the special arena.

Among 9 career races at the famous Brickyard, Busch has not recorded a win, but does maintain two top-five and six top-10 finishes along with 93 laps led. JGR statistics in the Nationwide Series at the inaugural Indianapolis event recorded one top-five finish, two top-10 finishes and four laps led. The No. 54 Monster Energy team’s crew chief Adam Stevens recorded a steady top-10 result in 2012 with then JGR driver Joey Logano.

IMS is undoubtedly a track mortared with victories recorded by many of motorsports’ finest. As the winningest driver in the Nationwide series, with 58 career victories registered after his last run in New Hampshire, it’s fitting for Busch to return to the seat of his Monster Energy machine, in search of victory, for his JGR team and Toyota Racing on such a historical speedway.
