Kyle Busch Motorsports has surpassed Roush Fenway Racing as the winningest team in NASCAR Camping World Truck Series competition. Tonight’s win by William Byron catapulted Kyle Busch to that top stop with 51 wins. 

Kyle Busch, in post-race interviews, talked about if he thought Kyle Busch Motorsports would be breaking records. “Yeah, certainly you want to be the best at what you do. I’ve tried to assemble a great group of guys. I feel like we have a great group of guys now. We have in our whole time that we have been in existence at Kyle Busch Motorsports. It’s been a lot of fun, it’s been a lot trying times, it’s been a lot of blood, sweat and tears by both my wife and myself and all these guys that are on this team now and all the people that have been a part of Kyle Busch Motorsports in the years past. We wouldn’t be here without all them. This is a special moment. It’s really, really cool. To me, what makes it most special is how we’ve done it in such a short period of time. From 2010 to 2016 we have gotten 51 wins and for the many teams we’ve excelled ahead of that have been around a lot longer than we have. This is pretty awesome.”

Kyle Busch Motorsports has won with Kyle Busch, himself, Christopher Bell, William Byron, Bubba Wallace Jr., Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne, Brian Scott, and Erik Jones.

In the seven year history of Kyle Busch Motorsports, the team has 9.5 average start and a 10.8 average finish, before Kentucky, in NASCAR Camping World Truck Series competition.

Byron Sparks in Iowa

Saturday, Jun 18

After tempers flared and sparks flew in Iowa, William Byron holds off Cole Custer to win his third race of 2016, his second in a row. Cameron Hayley, Ben Rhodes, and Tyler Roddick round out the top 5. This is William Byron’s ninth start in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

“We’ve had a couple setbacks, but we kept after it until that last restart,” said William Byron in victory lane. 

Cole Custer, who finished second, talks about his race in a post race interview, “I thought I had him, but didn’t get a good restart there.”

The Speediatrics 200 saw four lead changes among four drivers. William Byron led a race high of 107 , followed by John Hunter Namecheck (53), Tyler Reddick (37), and Cole Custer (3). 

The caution flag flew five times for a total of 39 laps. Four of the cautions were for accidents. The caution clock did expire once during the race to bring out a caution. The red flag plagued the race for less than six minutes for  cleanup after an accident involving Tommy Joe Martins and Derek Scott Jr.

Although William Byron has the top seed for the Chase, Matt Crafton holds an 18 point lead over Timothy Peters, followed by William Byron (-23), Daniel Hemric (-26), and John Hunter Namecheck (-41).

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will head to Gateway Motorsports Park next weekend for the Drivin’ For Linemen 200, a Saturday evening schedule.
