Kyle Busch is an American NASCAR driver and team owner.  He is the owner and driver of Kyle Busch Motorsports with cars racing in the Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series events.  Busch, who drives car no. 54 for his own Nationwide team and car no. 18 for Joe Gibbs Racing in the Sprint Cup Series, is the all-time career wins leader in the Nationwide series and third winningest person in NASCAR overall. 

Working together, Choice Hotels, the global franchisor of 11 different hotel brands, is helping Kyle Busch Motorsports fans and overall race fans get on the fast track to comfortable and convenient lodging, free breakfast, free internet and free parking during their travels.*  As the official hotel sponsor for Kyle Busch Motorsports, Choice Hotels will also host Busch’s team on their journey to the winner’s circle.  As part of the partnership, fans will also be able to participate in a Daytona 500 Sweepstakes for the chance to win a trip to attend NASCAR’S most prestigious race and meet the Kyle Busch Motorsports team in February.
