Busch has won 2 NASCAR Cup Series titles - in 2015 and 2019, with his 2015 title being a classic tale of never giving up. KFB broke his leg and suffered other injuries in a big crash in the Xfinity Series at Daytona at the start of the season, leading him to miss the first third of the Cup Series season. He rebounded to take 4 wins in the middle of the season, locking himself firmly into the playoffs, and then proceeding to win it all by winning the season's final race in Homestead-Miami.

Busch also won the 2009 Xfinity Series title and is the younger brother of 2004 Cup Series champion Kurt Busch, who is a legend and wheelman himself.
