2026 Season Notes
Busch is running full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series with Richard Childress Racing and a partial Truck Series schedule with Spire Motorsports — eight Truck races announced for 2026 in the No. 7 Chevrolet Silverado, branded with Hendrickcars.com support.
The Truck program is delivering: at Dover Motor Speedway on May 15, 2026, Busch won the ECOSAVE 200 for his record fifth Cup-era Dover Truck victory, leading 147 of the 200 laps and sweeping both stages. It was his 69th career Truck Series win — extending his all-time record in the series.
The Cup program is where the headlines are. Busch has not won a points race since 2023 at World Wide Technology Raceway. He acknowledged the gap directly in Dover victory lane:
"You never know when the last one is. I know all too well unfortunately with the Cup stuff, but here with the Truck stuff now, it's awesome to be part of Spire Motorsports. Love coming to Dover, always one of my favorite places to race."

The Spire Truck Pairing
Spire Motorsports' partnership with Kyle Busch in the Trucks has worked. Busch and Spire ran a 1-2 finish at EchoPark Speedway in February 2026, then delivered the record fifth Dover Truck in May. The pairing is one of the more productive part-time Truck deals in the garage — Spire gets the headlines, Busch gets the wins, the No. 7 Chevrolet runs up front.
