Coming off a productive weekend at the industry’s hometown-track of Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway where the No. 54 team earned a third-place result, the Adam Stevens’ run NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) unit and Kyle Busch now turn their attention to the appropriately named “Monster Mile” that is Dover International Speedway.
Busch will make his 10th Nationwide Series start piloting the Monster Energy Toyota Camry with Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) on the concrete oval where he has earned three series wins, eight top-five and 12 top-10 finishes. In addition, Busch has led a total of 1,014 laps over his NNS career at Dover. He dominated the event each of the last three times he earned victory at the Delaware track, leading the field 192, 191 and 157 of 200 laps in each of his winning runs during the Fall and Spring of 2010 and the Spring of 2008 respectively.
The Monster Energy athlete is strong at Dover pole-qualifying and has earned three first-place starting spots from 2008 to 2010. Not only did he start from the pole position during that time, but in both years he finished the day with victory. Odds are a win from the pole position could likely happen again.
Busch last experienced Victory Lane at the Monster Mile in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in 2013. This weekend the 29-year-old will try once again to win in that series Friday night, and then attempt to sweep the Nationwide and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series over the weekend.
