Toyota/Save Mart 350 — Sonoma Raceway (June 28, 2015)

This victory not only marked Busch’s first NASCAR Cup Series championship season, but it also stands as the defining win of his career. After suffering a devastating injury at Daytona that nearly ended his season, Busch returned to victory lane in dramatic fashion.

His determination defined the 2015 season as he fought back after missing the first 11 races. Busch ultimately capped off the comeback by winning the NASCAR Cup Series championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Ford EcoBoost 400 — Homestead-Miami Speedway (Nov. 17, 2019)

While 2015 delivered Busch’s most emotional triumph, the 2019 season showcased him at the peak of his powers. His victory in the season finale secured his fifth win of the year and delivered his second NASCAR Cup Series championship.

Winning five races in a single season was an impressive achievement on its own, but clinching another title with a clutch performance at Homestead made the moment even more memorable. Still, one other victory from 2019 may stand above the rest.

Auto Club 400 — Auto Club Speedway (March 17, 2019)

Busch’s 2019 season also featured one of the biggest milestones of his career: his 200th NASCAR national series victory.

In March 2019, Busch captured the Auto Club 400 in Fontana, California, tying Richard Petty for the most combined wins across NASCAR’s Cup, Xfinity, and Truck Series.

Coca-Cola 600 — Charlotte Motor Speedway (May 27, 2018)

Busch conquered NASCAR’s longest race in dominant fashion at Charlotte Motor Speedway, leading 377 laps to win one of the sport’s most grueling events. Starting from the pole position, Busch delivered a commanding performance that also gave him a points-paying victory at every active track on the NASCAR schedule.

With the win, Busch became the first driver in the modern era to win at all active tracks the series competed at during the current season.

2015 and 2016 Brickyard 400

In another defining stretch of his career, Busch dominated the Brickyard 400 with back-to-back victories at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Indianapolis remains one of the most iconic and coveted tracks in all of motorsports, making Busch’s consecutive wins there even more significant. His success at the Brickyard further solidified his legacy as one of NASCAR’s greatest drivers.
