Kyle Busch made his 700th career start in Sunday’s Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, crossing off another milestone in what has been an illustrious career.
Busch, the 2015 and 2019 Cup Series champion, has accumulated 63 wins, 248 top fives and 378 top 10s since becoming a full-time driver in 2005.
Spanning three historic organizations — Hendrick Motorsports, Joe Gibbs Racing and now Richard Childress Racing — Busch is among NASCAR’s elite in numerous categories. He is one of only 17 drivers to win multiple Cup championships, and his 63 wins in the circuit rank ninth all-time. His 231 wins over all three national series rank first all-time, 31 more than “The King” Richard Petty.
