“At Least 10 More Years” – Kyle Busch Makes a Huge Revelation About His NASCAR Future
Follow Us
Kyle Busch won his first race of the 2020 season to avoid becoming just the third NASCAR Cup champion ever, to go winless in the following season. But more importantly, Busch’s win kept his streak of consecutive seasons with at least one win going and three more such seasons get him the all-time record. Busch, though, believes he can extend it way beyond that.
Busch now has 16 straight seasons with at least one victory. The record is 18, held by Richard Petty. Speaking after his win on Wednesday night, Busch spoke about how long he sees himself in the sport, and his estimate is great news for his fans.
The 35-year-old said he has at least 10 more years in him to extend the streak for a long time to come. “Obviously, every great thing I guess must come to an end eventually, but man, I’m only 35. Like I feel like I’ve got at least 10 more years left in me,” Busch said in his post-race media interaction.

Kyle Busch wants to extend the streak “for a long, long time”
The younger Busch brother knew the magnitude of the opportunity in front of him to extend his streak and eventually hold the record. That is why the frustration kept rising for him, every passing week without a win, admitted Busch.
“There should be a great opportunity for this streak to go for a long, long time, and that’s why it’s been so stressful and has not felt very good to have this dry spell,” Busch expressed.
Busch is one of the most popular drivers around because he has been one of the best performers on the track for a long time. The pressure of expectations weighs on Busch, but he agrees with all those expectations and wants to live up to them.
“There’s a lot of people that put the pressure on me, on us as the 18 team that we’re known‑‑ we need to win. We should win. We have to win… But to be honest with you, it just‑‑ they’re right,” the Joe Gibbs Racing star said further.

Busch clarified he is not ‘self-touting’. At the same time, he said many people have told him he is one of the best in NASCAR history.
“I have been told by many a folk that I’m one of the best here, that’s been here. And to have that opportunity with myself and my team and the people that are around me, to go out there and win races, it makes sense,” Busch went on to say.
