Kyle Busch tribute at Bristol Motor Speedway

Overview

Joe Gibbs Racing and Mars Inc. have announced a tribute to the late Kyle Busch for the Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway on September 19. Ty Gibbs will drive the No. 54 Toyota Camry XSE featuring the iconic canary-yellow M&M’s paint scheme to honor Busch’s legacy.

Busch, who died from pneumonia in May, maintained a 15-year partnership with M&M’s, securing 34 of his 56 Cup Series victories in the yellow livery. The tribute includes a mosaic of personal photos and career imagery. Bristol Motor Speedway was chosen for the event due to Busch’s historic performance there, where he achieved nine Cup Series wins and multiple triple-series weekend sweeps.
