Kyle Busch 2019 season in review

Kyle Busch capped off an impressive 2019 season by winning his second NASCAR Cup Series title. Check out the gallery to take a look back at some of the best moments for the driver of the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.

The champion topped the series charts in laps led (1,582), top 10s (27) and average finish (8.9). After racing his way to five checkered flags in 2019, Busch secured his fifth career season with five or more wins and a series-leading 15th consecutive year with a trip to Victory Lane.

Including a runner-up finish in the season opener at Daytona and wins at Phoenix and Auto Club, Busch and the No. 18 team had an electric start to the season with 11 consecutive top-10 finishes. His win at Auto Club also marked his 200th career win across all NASCAR national series.

In a dramatic finish with his brother at Bristol, Kyle outran his older sibling Kurt after overcoming a shaky start. Despite spinning on just the second lap of the race, Kyle regrouped to lead 71 laps and pick up his eighth career win at the track.

A master of the 'Tricky Triangle,' Busch's spring victory at Pocono gave him wins in three of the last four at the Long Pond, Pennsylvania, track -- and with a ninth-place finish in the fall race, he has now finished the last seven races at Pocono inside the top 10.

No stranger to the NASCAR Playoffs, Busch started the Round of 16 atop the leaderboard for the second season in a row -- 15 points clear of teammate Denny Hamlin after winning the Cup Series regular-season championship.

Struggling to find consistency in the opening rounds, Busch’s point cushion and top-six finishes at Richmond, Dover and Kansas were enough to propel him into the Round of 8.

Still needing a solid finish in Phoenix to guarantee his place in the Championship 4, Busch's stellar effort in qualifying resulted in his only Busch Pole Award of the season. The speedy run extended his series-best streak of seasons with a pole to 12. He finished second and punched his ticket to race for the title in Miami.

The 56th win and 200th top five of his premier series career came in his Championship 4 victory at Homestead-Miami Speedway. After starting fourth, Busch led a race-high 120 laps and held off teammate Martin Truex Jr. to claim his second NASCAR Cup Series championship.

Busch’s win not only capped off a dominant season, but a dominant decade as well. His season finale win in Miami brought his tally to 40 Cup Series wins in the 2010s -- more than any other driver in that span.
