Busch previously tried to run SRX races in the past but missed them due to scheduling issues. He said, “I’ve been working with everyone at SRX trying to get one of their races on my schedule the last couple of seasons, and things didn’t work out,”.

The No:8 driver, when learning about the proximity of newly scheduled races to Cup race tracks, took on the opportunity when he had the chance. He added, “So when they announced they were having weeknight races in close proximity to a couple of races on the Cup schedule, SRX and I immediately got together to plan something for this year,”.

He also wants to support the local racing tracks where he grew up and previously won races. Busch explained, “I’ve won at Berlin in the Super Late Model, and I really enjoy racing at these local short tracks across the country, so it’ll be fun to go back and support those tracks and the great fan bases that they have,”.
