While the NASCAR world was celebrating Kyle Busch’s record-breaking win at Auto Club 400, there was another milestone he reached that day. As it turns out, Rowdy and his brother Kurt Busch broke the Allisons’ record for the most wins for a brother pair in NASCAR history. So it is safe to say that it was an incredible week for the Busch family. In light of their latest success, both brothers were invited to the new episode of NASCAR Live podcast before the next race in Vegas. As the interviewer mentioned Brandon Bernstein from Lucas Oil, Busch’s sponsor, got emotional over his win, Kyle shared how things were so different when he was younger.
