BRISTOL, TN — NASCAR Race fans will be filling the grandstands at Bristol Motor Speedway tonight for the Bass Pro Shops Night Race. Fans will witness a deeply emotional tribute on the concrete.
Ty Gibbs is driving the No. 54 Toyota featuring a special mosaic M&M’s paint scheme honoring the late NASCAR champion Kyle Busch. A mosaic of photos that capture Kyle’s life as husband, father, championship-winning NASCAR driver, and friend.
The commemorative design brings back the iconic yellow colors that defined a massive portion of Busch’s storied career.
The tribute brings together Mars, Joe Gibbs Racing, and the Busch family – including his widow, Samantha Busch, to remember the two-time Cup Series champion at a venue where he achieved legendary status.
A Legacy on the High Banks – Bristol Motor Speedway serves as a fitting backdrop for the remembrance. Throughout his illustrious career, Busch dominated the historic 0.533-mile short track, capturing numerous victories across NASCAR’s national series and cementing his reputation as one of the fiercest competitors under the lights.
In addition to Gibbs carrying the commemorative colors on track, the speedway and fans are honoring Busch with a special Lap 18 tribute, accompanied by yellow tribute towels handed out to fans to match his legendary scheme.
Under the lights, the green flag is expected to drop at approximately 7:40 p.m.
