Kyle Busch, the winningest driver in Xfinity Series history, will return to the series and run five races with Kaulig Racing, the team announced Friday.
Busch, who has 102 Xfinity Series wins, did not compete in Xfinity last year. His five races this season will be:
March 4 at Las Vegas
March 11 at Phoenix
May 27 at Charlotte
Aug. 19 at Watkins Glen
Sept. 2 at Darlington
He’ll drive the No. 10 car for Kaulig Racing in those races. Sponsor announcements will be made later.
“I’m looking forward to having some fun in the Xfinity Series again,” Busch said in a statement from the team. “What Matt Kaulig and Chris Rice have built in just a few short years at Kaulig Racing is impressive, and with the team’s alliance with Richard Childress Racing (RCR), this made for an easy decision to be back competing in a series that I’ve had success in over the years.”
Earlier this week, Kyle Busch Motorsports announced the five Craftsman Truck Series races Busch will run this season.
NASCAR rules limit drivers with more than three years of Cup experience to five Truck and five Xfinity races per season. They also are prevented from competing in the regular season finale and the playoffs in each series, along with special events in each series (Triple Truck Challenge and Dash 4 Cash in Xfinity).
