Kyle Busch is already a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion with more than 200 victories across the sport’s three national divisions. However,
There are still two major goals he’s yet to achieve that top his bucket list. The first is winning the Daytona 500, a race he’s attempted 20 times without success.
The second is competing in the Indianapolis 500, something he hasn’t done yet.
Kyle’s older brother, Kurt Busch, raced in the Indianapolis 500 back in 2014 with Andretti Autosport, finishing seventh and earning Rookie of the Year honors. Kyle himself attempted to secure a spot in the race a few years ago,
but the opportunity was shut down by his then-team owner, Joe Gibbs. He shared this story during a conversation with fellow NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin on Hamlin’s podcast, Actions Detrimental.
