This is now the 21st year of trying for Kyle Busch at the Daytona 500 but there is a lot more at stake for the two-time Cup Series champion than just the elusive Harley J. Earl trophy as it feels like a turning point in his career altogether.
‘Rowdy’ will turn 41-years-old in May and hasn’t won at the highest level since Gateway in June 2023. That’s a 92-race winless streak for those counting. On one hand, it’s hard to find someone that believes Busch was the reason for the Richard Childress Racing No. 8 struggling over the past two years but teammate Austin Dillon does have two Richmond wins during that span.
