Making his start, Busch makes his 2024 start following his team, Kyle Busch Motorsports’ sale to Spire. Starting off his 2024 Truck Series season, Busch aims to build on his 64 Truck Series career wins. In stage 1 of the race, the #7 cut right across the leader, Tyler Ankrum, in lap 7 to take the lead.

After starting seventh from the grid, he quickly found his rhythm and got to the front, passing the pole sitter Daniel Dye and his Spire Motorsports teammate, Chase Purdy, to get the lead.

Before his Cup Series race, “Bad Boy” gets an early momentum with a stellar win over fellow truckers, extending his legacy in the division, marking his 65th career win in the faction – the most by any driver in the history of the series. Busch put on a clinic for the young competitors in the field, teaching them a lesson or two to the young pack about proper racing, and etiquette, ending the day without an ugly wreck.

The #7 Chevy trucker took the lead early but lost it shortly after but Busch being the competitive fiery driver he is wasn’t going to go down without a fight. The driver got a hold of stage 2 and won it style. With this momentum, Busch fended off fierce competition from Ty Majeski and got his 65th career win.
