Busch has won a combined 231 events across the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and is one of NASCAR’s most noteworthy drivers.

“The Cup season may be over, but the racing season is still in full swing with the biggest events on dirt taking place over the next couple of months,” Busch said. “The Chili Bowl is a legendary event and has always been on my wish list. To be able to compete there, and then alongside my son Brexton at the Tulsa Shootout, is making this year one to remember.”
Busch, who competes full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series for Richard Childress Racing, will also compete in the Tulsa Shootout alongside son Brexton Busch (December 31 to January 4).
Last December, Busch competed in the Tulsa Shootout at the Tulsa Expo Raceway in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he went for a major tumble in the stock non-wing event.
In 2021, when competing in the Tulsa Shootout, Busch won a heat race, after driving through the pack from eighth to first.
