NASCAR: Kyle Busch to run all 7 races during 11-day span

Kyle Busch is set to run all seven NASCAR races across the Cup Series, Xfinity Series and Truck Series over the course of the upcoming 11-day span of races.

When NASCAR returns to action following a 10-week hiatus brought on by the coronavirus pandemic, no driver will be more active than two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch.

The 35-year-old Las Vegas, Nevada native, who regularly competes in the maximum allowable total of Xfinity Series and Truck Series races each year in addition to the full Cup Series schedule, is set to compete in every NASCAR race on the schedule over the course of the upcoming 11-day span of races.

Busch is the all-time winningest driver in NASCAR history across these three series with 209 victories. He is the all-time winningest driver in Xfinity Series history and Truck Series history with 96 and 57 victories in each, and he sits ninth on the all-time Cup Series wins list with 56.

This upcoming 11-day span includes seven races at Darlington Raceway at Charlotte Motor Speedway, with three at the former and four at the latter.

There are two Cup Series races and one Xfinity Series race at the four-turn, 1.366-mile (2.198-kilometer) oval in Darlington, South Carolina as well as two Cup Series races, one Xfinity Series race and one Truck Series race at the four-turn, 1.5-mile (2.414-kilometer) oval in Concord, North Carolina.

“I’m running all of those, every one that’s scheduled I’m in,” Busch told Adam Schein in an interview on SiriusXM Radio. “It’s going to be getting thrown to the wolves, that’s for sure.”

He doesn’t, however, believe that it will be as hard as it ordinarily would due to the fact that the schedules are abbreviated for each event.

“With this, all you can do is show up, you get in the vehicle and you run the race,” he continued. “I feel as though it sounds really labor intensive and heavy and man, that’s a lot. But in my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘Man, I don’t know if it’s really going to be that bad.’ But I’ll let you know when it’s all said and done.”

In the first Cup Series race at Darlington Raceway on Sunday, May 17, Busch is set to honor the heroes of the coronavirus pandemic with this special paint scheme from M&M’s.

He is then set to run a brand new M&M’s paint scheme from M&M’s in the second Cup Series race at the track on Wednesday, May 20.
