MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Kyle Busch, one of NASCAR’s most accomplished drivers of the modern era, will compete in eight NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races for Spire Motorsports in 2026.
HendrickCars.com will serve as the primary partner aboard the team’s No. 7 Chevrolet Silverado for the bulk of Busch’s eight-race slate.
The high-profile pairing between the two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion and the Mooresville, N.C.-based team will shift into high gear for the Feb. 21 Fr8 Racing 208 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
“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.”
Busch has made 10 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series starts over the past two seasons for Spire Motorsports, where he’s earned three wins, five top-five and six top-10 finishes. Busch, a Las Vegas native, enters the 2026 season with 63 wins in NASCAR’s premier division. He advanced to the Championship 4 for five consecutive seasons from 2015-2019 and remains one of only three active multi-time Cup Series champions.
Busch has also captured wins in several of the sport’s most prestigious events, including the Brickyard 400 (2015,2016), Southern 500 (2008) and Coca-Cola 600 (2018).
