Kyle Busch will again compete for Spire Motorsports in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series this season, Spire announced Feb. 9.
He’s scheduled to drive the No. 7 in eight Truck races, starting with Bristol Motor Speedway in April. HendrickCars.com will be on board for the bulk of the races.
Busch will also run at Texas Motor Speedway, Dover Motor Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Nashville Superspeedway, North Wilkesboro Speedway and Richmond Raceway.
“I’m excited that after NASCAR amended the ‘Kyle Busch rule’ that I was able to work it out with Jeff (Dickerson, owner), Brian (Pattie, crew chief) and everyone at Spire Motorsports to increase my race count up to the eight that are allowed this year,” Busch said. “With the schedule we’ve put together, the majority of the tracks I’m fortunate to have a lot of wins at but there are also a few that I haven’t won at yet in the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series and will be looking to add to the win list. I’m looking forward to going out each and every race, giving it all we can to get Mr. H, HendrickCars.com and the other partners that will fill out the schedule to Victory Lane.”
In five Truck races last year, Busch won one race at EchoPark Speedway and earned two top fives and three top 10s.
