KYLE BUSCH -King of the Concrete
HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. – Over the course of the past three seasons, there hasn’t been a driver more dominant on NASCAR’s concrete surfaces than Kyle Busch. In fact, he could easily be called the “King of the Concrete,” for the talented 26-year-old has 17 wins at concrete-clad ovals dating back to 2008 – a run that includes drives in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, NASCAR Nationwide Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
Dover (Del.) International Speedway, site of Sunday’s FedEx 400 benefitting Autism Speaks Sprint Cup race, is one of three concrete tracks that hosts NASCAR’s top-three divisions. Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway is the other, while Nashville (Tenn.) Superspeedway, hosts only Nationwide and Truck Series races.
