The roar of engines fades and the smoke from victory burnout clears. But in NASCAR, legends aren’t just built on trophies—they’re shaped by the moments and souvenirs that fans treasure as much as drivers cherish their wins. For Kyle Busch, a piece of his racing legacy recently returned to him, all thanks to a devoted fan who understood the importance of preserving history.

Two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch, with over 200 victories across NASCAR’s national series, recently received an unexpected gift that left him visibly moved. Despite his impressive trophy collection, one significant memento had eluded him for years—the commemorative diecast set celebrating his historic 2010 Bristol sweep. A special occasion for Rowdy when he became the first driver ever to win all three national NASCAR series races in a single weekend.

“For those who don’t follow, his 2010 Bristol sweep set has been going for $700+ lately. Hard to come by,” explained NASCAR news outlet TheNascarHotspot, highlighting just how coveted this particular piece of memorabilia has become among collectors. The collectible items exhibit Busch’s one-of-a-kind achievement in victory at Bristol Motor Speedway which included winning all three national NASCAR series races Truck, Nationwide (now Xfinity), and Cup during the weekend.

In a heartfelt moment shared on his Instagram story, Kyle Busch revealed how a devoted fan named Chris had tracked down this elusive collector’s item and generously gifted it to him. “My man Chris here came through for me with an unsigned 2010 Bristol sweep set that I have been looking for,” Busch wrote. “Somehow, I did not keep one of my own for my collection so Chris graciously saved me this one to keep. Thanks Chris!!” Even though he possesses multiple trophies, Busch demonstrated intense excitement which proves even veteran racers can still be moved by tangible reminders of career-defining moments.

The 2010 Bristol sweep stands as one of the most dominant weekend performances in modern NASCAR history. Each diecast in the set features race-specific details that capture Busch at the height of his prowess at the half-mile Tennessee track nicknamed “The Last Great Colosseum.” The set includes three diecasts representing his wins in the Camping World Truck Series, the Nationwide Series (now Xfinity Series), and the Sprint Cup Series during that August weekend in 2010. What makes this accomplishment even more remarkable is that Busch became the first driver in NASCAR history to win all three national series events during the same weekend. Thus, cementing his place in the sport’s record books.

Rowdy’s racing collection from KBM finds a new home

This interaction between Busch and his fans highlights his deep trackside competitiveness as well as his genuine respect for his past heroics. After the emotional $14.5 million sale of Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) to Spire Motorsports, many wondered where his extensive collection of race cars and trophies would end up.

As reported in the coverage of KBM’s sale, Busch noted the quick transition: “The ink hasn’t even dried, and the money didn’t even clear in the bank, and the sign out front was changed. I was like, ‘Damn, guys! Get out of here. We’ve still got five more days!'” But as those days ticked down, relocating his car collection and trophy cabinet became an “off-season project.”

Busch once addressed fans’ curiosity in an Instagram video, saying, “I’ve heard a lot of requests about, ‘Hey, what did you do with your car collection? Where’s all your race cars, everything with KBM being moved out of there? Where did it go?’ Well, here we are today. I’ll show you what we got.”

The video revealed a three-level lift system housing his collection, including the three vehicles responsible for his historic Bristol sweep. Explaining the significance of his Nationwide (now Xfinity) Series car, Busch said: “Cool thing about this Xfinity car is that it is also a championship-winning car from Homestead the year before. So really cool to win the championship in 2009 in that car and then be able to repeat the win again in 2010 at Bristol.”

The legendary Double Mint Camry from the Cup Series victory—the final piece of his historic sweep—occupies the topmost shelf: “And then, of course, up top, hard to see because they are so high and parked up there tight, but that’s the Cup Series Bristol winner car, the Double Mint car.”

That Double Mint Camry helped Busch create history on August 21, 2010, capping off a record-setting weekend. After winning in the truck series, he clinched a controversial victory in the Nationwide race after a tangle with Brad Keselowski—a series of incidents that led to the infamous “Kyle Busch is an a–“ remark by Keselowski during driver introductions.

For Busch, this collection represents more than just metal and paint—it’s a tangible timeline of career milestones that continue to inspire both the driver and his fans. While his current Cup Series season with Richard Childress Racing has seen its challenges, Busch continues to find success in the Truck Series with Spire Motorsports.
