M&Ms is making a return to NASCAR competition, this time adorning the No. 54 entry with a paint scheme that pays direct tribute to the late Kyle Busch.
A Tribute Under the Lights
The design revives the iconic red, white and black livery that defined Busch’s early successes, a visual nod to the nine Cup victories he collected at Bristol Motor Speedway, where he also achieved the rare feat of sweeping a triple‑header weekend on two separate occasions.
Samantha Busch, Kyle’s widow, expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to honor his memory at the historic Tennessee venue, noting that the gesture reflects both his love of racing and the deep connection he forged with fans.
Ty Gibbs, who now drives for Joe Gibbs Racing, is expected to pilot the car, linking the tribute to the team’s ongoing legacy while the organization prepares the vehicle for the upcoming night race.
Beyond the track, the event underscores the enduring influence of Busch’s career on NASCAR families and the broader community, reminding observers that his impact continues to resonate long after his final checkered flag.
