Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senators Ted Budd (R-N.C.), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) secured passage of their bipartisan resolution honoring the life of two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion, Kyle Busch.
Below is an excerpt from the resolution, in which the Senators recognized Busch’s legendary NASCAR career and his commitment to family:
“Busch had 19 consecutive seasons with a NASCAR Cup Series win (2005 through 2023), the longest of any driver. … [He] rounded out his career as the winningest driver across NASCAR’s 3 national series, with a record of 234 victories, including 63 Cup Series wins, 102 O’Reilly Auto Parts Series wins, and 69 CRAFTSMAN Truck Series wins. …
“Busch earned the respect of both opposing drivers and fans through his commitment to providing thrilling entertainment to NASCAR crowds with his performative driving style. … He embraced his role as a champion driver and devoted father, proudly mentored and coached his son, Brexton, who began his own journey in motorsports, and helped to foster the passion for racing in the next generation.”
