The following paragraph discusses the benefits of regular exercise and how it can improve one’s overall health and wellbeing. Exercise has numerous benefits, both physical and mental, and can help individuals lead a happier and healthier life. Let’s take a closer look at how exercise can positively impact our bodies and minds.
Two times NASCAR Cup series champion Kyle Busch has claimed that tracking down seven times Cup champion Dale Earnhardtโs win record is realistic for him. Dale Sr. is ranked eighth in the all-time win list with 76 wins in his illustrious career. Busch needs to secure 13 more Cup race wins to outscore the intimidator.
Buschโs pursuit of Dale Sr. is unique because he can secure the spot with RCR, the same team Dale Sr. wrote his NASCAR legacy. Busch joined RCR at the start of the 2023 season with 60 wins in his cup career. He secured three wins this season after just 16 races and has already established himself as a championship contender.
In Sonoma Raceway, Busch was asked about his hopes of one day becoming the eighth all-time winner topping Dale Sr. He pointed out that it is possible with the form he is in and the car RCR has been giving him. He admitted that if he can secure 70 wins by the end of 2024, there is no doubt that he will top Dale Earnhardt.
โI would have said โ probably the 2015 to 2019 timeframe when I was winning five, six at a clip โ that thatโs definitely obtainable. And then we kind of slow down the last few years, and then I would have probably told you, โI donโt know if Iโll get there,โ Busch said on June 10th.
โAnd then this year, weโve got three, and I feel like thereโs plenty more. So hopefully we can continue to showcase that at RCR with the 8 car and go out there and win some more. I think anythingโs possible. I think it would be more fair to talk about, I guess, once I at least hit 70. Right? Which that could probably happen by the end of next year, so hopefully it does,โ Busch added.

He is the active driver with the most Cup race wins ahead of fellow veteran Kevin Harvick. Busch is the only multiple-time Cup champion in the active drivers in the Cup other than Joey Logano.
