“Proud Brother” Kurt Busch rejoices as Kyle Busch’s Fontana win makes them the winningest brother duo in NASCAR

Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch

Kyle Busch’s  61st Cup race win at Fontana, California, was historic and record-breaking. Busch became the active Cup driver with the most cup wins and broke the record for the most consecutive seasons with a win, a record held by 7 times Cup champion Richard Petty.  The milestone win also marked the final race at Auto Club Speedway before the reconfiguration.

The two times Cup series champions’ first-ever Cup win for Richard Childress Racing was also special for the Bush family. Kyle and Kurt Busch became the windiest brothers in the Cup series. They were tied with  Bobby Allison and Donnie Allison, who also had 94 race wins. Fontana was the 95th win, and the duo is well on its way to scoring the 100th Cup win.

The 2004 champion Kurt has 34 wins in his Cup career and is currently sidelined due to a concussion. The two times champion Kyle has scored 61 Cup race wins.
