Kyle Busch will once again take part in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with Spire Motorsports this season, as confirmed by Spire on February 9. Busch’s continued involvement with the team adds excitement to the series, and highlights the ongoing partnership between Kyle Busch and Spire Motorsports in this expanded 2024 slate.
Busch to Compete in Eight Truck Series Races for Spire
This year, Busch is scheduled to pilot the No. 7 truck in eight races, starting with Bristol Motor Speedway in April. Most of his starts will see sponsorship from HendrickCars.com, reinforcing commercial support for his Truck Series efforts. Along with Bristol, Busch’s calendar includes Texas Motor Speedway, Dover Motor Speedway, Charlotte Motor Speedway, Nashville Superspeedway, North Wilkesboro Speedway, and Richmond Raceway.
Adjustments After NASCAR’s Rule Change
Recent changes to NASCAR’s ‘Kyle Busch rule’ have enabled Busch to increase the number of Truck Series races he can run in 2024. Busch shared his appreciation for the expanded schedule and the teamwork behind the decision, stating,
“I’m excited that after NASCAR amended the ‘Kyle Busch rule’ that I was able to work it out with Jeff (Dickerson, owner), Brian (Pattie, crew chief) and everyone at Spire Motorsports to increase my race count up to the eight that are allowed this year,”
– Kyle Busch, Driver.
“With the schedule we’ve put together, the majority of the tracks I’m fortunate to have a lot of wins at but there are also a few that I haven’t won at yet in the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series and will be looking to add to the win list. I’m looking forward to going out each and every race, giving it all we can to get Mr. H, HendrickCars.com and the other partners that will fill out the schedule to Victory Lane.”

Last Season’s Performance Sets the Stage
In 2023, Busch competed in five Truck Series races. He clinched victory at EchoPark Speedway and continued his consistency by finishing in the top five twice, as well as earning three top-ten results. These performances showcase his capability and competitive drive as he aims to build on that success throughout the expanded schedule this season.
Implications for the 2024 Season
Kyle Busch’s participation with Spire Motorsports in eight events marks a significant extension of his involvement in the series. With races at both familiar venues and tracks where he seeks a first Truck Series win, Busch’s presence adds anticipation and increased attention for fans and sponsors alike. The expanded collaboration with HendrickCars.com and additional partners demonstrates ongoing investment in Busch’s racing endeavors and underscores Spire Motorsports’ commitment to contending for wins in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series this year.
