By no stretch of the imagination was Kyle Busch the driver to beat in Sunday’s GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Although, maybe that’s how he ended up in victory lane when the race met its chaotic conclusion.
Busch, driving the No. 8 for Richard Childress Racing, captured his second victory of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season at Talladega Superspeedway, after avoiding an accident on the final lap of Sunday’s GEICO 500, which included Bubba Wallace and Ryan Blaney.

McLaren Custom Grills Website Crashes After Piqued Interest from Talladega Victory
Sunday’s GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway marked the beginning of a multi-race partnership between Kyle Busch, Richard Childress Racing, and McLaren Custom Grills, a Winnipeg, Canada-based BBQ company specializing in custom BBQ grills for sports fans.
So, it goes without saying, that when Kyle Busch parked his No. 8 Chevrolet Camaro at the start-finish line after winning Sunday’s 196-lap contest in spectacular fashion, interest was piqued about the two-time champion’s brand-new sponsor.
Posting to Instagram – while in victory lane, apparently – the company said: “Our website is currently down because of the overwhelming amount of interest. Don’t worry, we’re working on it and it will be back up in no time.”
Needless to say, the partnership between Busch and McLaren Custom Grills has gotten off to a fantastic start, not only with the victory, but with tons of exposure for a brand that has looked to enter the sports world through deals within NASCAR and the NBA.
