Two-time Cup Series champion Kyle Busch headed into the 2026 NASCAR season with plenty of doubters.
And, while he had the perfect response at Daytona International Speedway last week, taking pole for the 68th edition of the Daytona 500, it was unfortunately the same old story for the 40-year-old and his No. 8 team at Richard Childress Racing when it came to the race.
Busch complained about his car multiple times on his way to a 15th-place finish, and he was running down in 30th until two big wrecks on the final lap saw him gain a huge number of places.
But, while Busch's long wait for a Cup Series victory now extends to 94 races, we must not forget that he is NASCAR's most-winningest driver across all three of the Cup, O'Reilly Auto Parts and Truck Series, and one insane statistic to emerge after Daytona proves just how great he really is.

Kyle Busch dominates NASCAR statistic
As highlighted by Peter Stratta, Tyler Reddick's Daytona 500 victory last weekend meant he became only the 13th NASCAR driver to earn a Cup, O'Reilly (formerly Xfinity) and Truck Series victory at the same track.
However, when looking at the data highlighted above, one name is a clear standout.
Remarkably, Busch has earned a Cup, O'Reilly and Truck Series victory at 17 separate race tracks, which is 10 more tracks than his nearest competitor in this regard, Kevin Harvick (7).
Impressively, one of Busch's 17 was even earned at the same weekend, when he completed the Cup, O'Reilly and Truck Series sweep in 2010. He also achieved the same feat nine years later at the same track.
Busch heads to Atlanta this weekend and is set to race in the Cup and Truck Series, another track to feature in the 17 he has achieved the feat at, so don't be surprised to see him run well, and dare we say, even end his long wait for a victory.
