Kyle Busch to End “Retirement” From NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2023

After a one-year “retirement” from competing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Kyle Busch will return to the series in 2023. Busch, who has 102 wins (the all-time record) in the series, will pilot the No. 10 Chevrolet Camaro for Kaulig Racing in five races.
“I’m looking forward to having some fun in the Xfinity Series again,” said Busch. “What Matt Kaulig and Chris Rice have built in just a few short years at Kaulig Racing is impressive, and with the team’s alliance with Richard Childress Racing (RCR), this made for an easy decision to be back competing in a series that I’ve had success in over the years.”
Busch will run Las Vegas (March 4), Phoenix (March 11), Charlotte (May 27), Watkins Glen (August 19), and Darlington (September 2).
