Kyle Busch Unfurls His Excitement as RCR’s Long-Time Ally Joins Him for Tulsa

When Kyle Busch joined Richard Childress Racing after fifteen long years on Coach Gibbs’ side, fans immediately expected great things from the new star pairing. However, despite delivering mega performances in the first half of the season, Busch’s 2023 campaign failed to qualify out of the round of twelve. While his three wins this season were a step in the right direction from 2022, a lot more was left to be desired.

Although Busch absolved RCR of any blame for his rollercoaster of a season, a long-time Richard Childress Racing sponsor has extended its support to Kyle Busch’s efforts in 2024. Lucas Oil Products will not only serve as the primary sponsor for Busch in many Cup Series races but is also set to cover him during his grassroots Micro Sprint car venture in the Tulsa Shootout starting on December 26.

Since 2014, Lucas Oil has served as the official lubricant partner of RCR and ECR engines and is also their official motor oil. Throughout their partnership, the iconic brands have visited Victory Lane a staggering twenty times! The pair have collaborated on several research and development projects and aggressive marketing programs.

Their support for Kyle Busch isn’t without solid ground. After all, Busch awarded the brand their first Cup Series victory during their first race together at Autoclub Speedway in Fontana, Calif. Taking to Instagram, Kyle Busch shared a reel on his Instagram page featuring fan favorite funk music to reveal the 2024 Lucas Oil livery for his Micro Sprint Car, along with his racing overalls.

The cars featured the classic Lucas Oil red and blue paint scheme along with the Kyle Busch Motorsports moniker on the sides. The livery featured all of Busch’s major sponsors, including some big names such as Sparco and Schuberth. The post was captioned, “Pumped to have @lucasoilproducts on board for my grassroots dirt program this year, Running 3 classes here @tulsashootout, let’s GO!”

Lucas Oil will also sponsor Busch’s son as he traverses the path to racing. Brexton Busch is currently eight years old and aims to follow in his father’s footsteps. By extending their support to his racing career, Lucas Oil has truly cemented their commitment not just to Richard Childress Racing but also to the Busch family.
