About Kyle
Reasons Rowdy Rocks
- The nickname "Rowdy" Busch pays homage to Rowdy Burns in the movie Days of Thunder—but it also describes Kyle's energy on the track!
- Kyle learned to drive at age 6 in the cul-de-sac near his Las Vegas home. His dad worked the gas and brakes while he steered.
- He is the youngest Rookie of the Year winner in Sprint Cup history.
- 10-year-old Kyle served as Crew Chief of his older brother's dwarf car team.
- Kyle raced in the Craftsman truck series at age 16, but was sidelined for two years when new rules prohibited anyone under 18 from racing in the series. Now he's making up for lost time!
- Kyle recently made history by participating in all three NASCAR races (the Nationwide, Sprint Cup and Craftsmen series) in different
states over a single weekend.
