I used to run his first truck, which was No. 15, and when Billy wanted to run a second truck in a few races, he asked me what number I’d want to run so I told him to just reverse the 15 and make it 51. All his trucks were already painted black, and we put Rowdy Busch over the (door), and that’s sort of where it came from. I loved the “Days of Thunder” movie and thought that it would be fun to relive that a bit, and it has sort of stuck since then.

Kyle Busch has made it known that the nickname, Rowdy first came to light during his Truck Series days and believes, that it has stuck since then. One more reason why the name has stuck with him is because of his fearless driving skills during racing events.

The brand was launched in partnership with Jeff Chruch, who was the co-founder of Suja Juice in 2012. Since then, Rowdy Energy has been in the market and is growing at a steady rate. Kyle Busch being a well-renowned racing driver also helps the brand in looking after its sales targets, as many motorsports fans buy the drink just because of Busch.
