In an emotional gesture, M&Ms returns to NASCAR with a special paint scheme to honor Kyle Busch during the night race at Bristol. This is done with the participation of Ty Gibbs, who will pay tribute to the motor legend on a track where the extra superstar enjoyed great success.
The number 54 car will feature the iconic M&Ms colors, Busch’s sponsor during his 15 seasons with Joe Gibbs Racing. The designs will include highlighted images from key moments in Busch’s career, who achieved numerous victories and the Cup Series title in 2015.
Samantha Busch, Kyle’s wife, expressed her emotion in a statement. “Bristol was always one of Kyle’s favorite tracks. He had great success in the night races, and the iconic M&M’S car carries some of the best memories of his career,” she stated.
Gibbs recorded his first NASCAR Cup victory at Bristol, a fact that adds meaning to his participation in this race. “It’s an opportunity to honor him in a place he loved so much, surrounded by the NASCAR family and the fans who also loved him,” Samantha added.
Kyle Busch was one of the best drivers on the Bristol track, where he won nine races in the Cup, nine in NASCAR O’Reilly, and five in Truck. Additionally, he is the only driver in NASCAR history who has managed to complete a triple-header weekend with victories, an unprecedented feat he also achieved at Bristol.
The NASCAR community has come together in expressions of affection for Busch after his tragic passing at the age of 41, just before the Coca-Cola 600 weekend. Recently, he achieved his 234th and last victory in a Truck race at Dover, less than a week before his death.
