Kyle Thomas Busch (born May 2, 1985) is an American professional stock car racing driver. He competes full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, driving the No. 8 Chevrolet ZL1 for Richard Childress Racing. A highly accomplished racer, Busch is the 2009 NASCAR Nationwide Series champion and a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, winning titles in 2015 and 2019. He currently ranks 9th on the all-time NASCAR Cup Series wins list and 1st in overall wins between the top three NASCAR divisions. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest drivers of his generation and in NASCAR history, known for his dominance across the sport's three major series.[1] Additionally, Busch briefly held the WWE 24/7 Championship.[2] He is the younger brother of 2004 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series champion Kurt Busch.
Busch is the former owner of Kyle Busch Motorsports, a race team that competed in the Xfinity Series from 2011 to 2013 and the Truck Series from 2010 to 2023. Known for his aggressive driving style and demeanor, he has earned several nicknames over the years, including "Rowdy" and "Wild Thing".[3] He is also called "The Candy Man" due to his longtime sponsorship with Mars Inc.,[4] "Shrub" as a playful nod to being the younger brother of Kurt Busch (with a small bush being called a shrub),[5] "Kyle Kush" because of his partnership with cannabis company 3Chi,[6] and the self-proclaimed "KFB."[7]
