Kyle Busch, the all-time wins leader in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, is returning to the series for a five-race campaign with Spire Motorsports in 2025.

The two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion will be splitting his time between a pair of entries for the organization this season, starting with Saturday’s Fr8 Racing 208 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Busch will return to the driver’s seat of the No. 7 Chevrolet in a pair of NASCAR Truck Series events in 2025, once again working with Brian Pattie in events at Atlanta Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway.

A native of Las Vegas, Nevada, Busch will also jump behind the wheel of Spire’s newly-minted No. 07 Chevrolet Silverado, being led by crew chief Allen Hart this season, at North Wilkesboro, Nashville, and Watkins Glen.

“With my long-standing relationship with Jeff (Dickerson) and having a lot of my former employees still working on the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series teams at Spire Motorsports, it’s cool to be able to hop back in their Chevy Silverados five times and work towards filling those trophy cases,” said Busch. “I still really enjoy being a part of the process of evaluating their equipment and being a mentor to the young drivers in Spire’s lineup. It’s fun trying to help speed up their learning curve by passing on a few pointers here and there.”

Busch is a 63-time winner in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, a win total that includes a pair of triumphs with Spire Motorsports last season at Atlanta Motor Speedway and Texas Motor Speedway.

“My schedule will consist of some tracks where I’ve had a lot of success in the Truck Series, like Atlanta, Charlotte, and Nashville but also two tracks that I’ve never raced at in a truck – North Wilkesboro and Watkins Glen,” added Busch. “So, I’m looking forward to hopefully adding a couple more tracks to the list of places where I’ve won across my Truck Series career.”

In addition to his two championships in the NASCAR Cup Series, Busch is the 2009 NASCAR Xfinity Series champion and the all-time wins leader in that series, with 102 victories. Bush also ranks first all-time in average finish and second all-time in laps led in the NASCAR Truck Series.

“I’m thankful to have Kyle back with our NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series team this year,” said Spire Motorsports co-owner Jeff Dickerson. “Having one of the best drivers in NASCAR history in our equipment and in our shop makes everyone better. He won a couple last year with us and we all know when he straps in that we have one goal and that is to add to the trophy case in the shop that, ironically, he built. I think people sometimes overlook how good Kyle is working with young drivers and his ability to teach them. The standard he sets is one that both Rajah (Caruth) and Andres (Perez de Lara) can benefit from.”

The Fr8 Racing 208 from Atlanta Motor Speedway will take place on Saturday, February 22 at 1:30 PM ET on FS1, MRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Channel 90).
