Whether or not Kyle Busch wins another race before retiring, his legacy in NASCAR will be unmatched for decades to come. The two-time Cup Series champion is renowned for his excellent track record in all three national series, and that was on display again after Tyler Reddick’s victory in the 2026 Daytona 500.
By winning the last edition of the Great American Race at Daytona International Speedway, Reddickbecame the 13th driver to win a Truck Series, an O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and a Cup Series at a single track. Others on the list include drivers like Kyle Larson, Mark Martin, Christopher Bell and Kevin Harvick.

But at the top of the list, by a huge margin over the others, is Busch. Rowdy has recorded a win in all three series at 17 different race tracks. From Daytona and Atlanta to Pocono and Michigan, he dominated them all. Seeing his name and track record on the list, fans on social media were left in awe of his incredible dominance.
A fan wrote on X, in response to Peter Stratta’s post: “So Kyle on Mount Everest. Kevin and Mark on the Appalachians. Everyone else on a high hill.”
Harvick has won a race in all three series at seven different tracks, and Martin has done so at four different tracks. The difference between them and Busch is absolutely incredible.

Another fan amusingly wrote: “Dad, how good was Kyle Busch?” »
All a father would have to do when his child asks this question is provide this particular statistic. Another fan said: “Kyle is the greatest of all time.” In another fan’s response, there was a touch of melancholy about how far the pilot has come since its peak. They said, “Prime Kyle Busch was different”
Busch is the only driver to sweep a three-race NASCAR weekend
What’s even more impressive than the aforementioned record is that Busch is the only driver in history who was able to compete in all three National Series races in a single weekend and win them all. Even more impressive, he accomplished the feat twice. It was at Bristol Motor Speedway that he won these races twice: first in 2010, then in 2017.

His words to the press after first achieving this feat reflect how much it meant to him. He said*”To do it for the first time in NASCAR, to sweep the weekend…man, it’s really awesome. I don’t know what to think. I’ve been trying to do this since I came to NASCAR; since I started my career. Luckily, I was able to do it, be the first to do it.”*
Drivers can come and go. Generations can pass and tracks can be reconfigured. But the dominance Busch displayed in the sport will forever live on and be recognized. This statistic is just one of many that will ensure that.
