Ryan Blaney, driver for Team Penske, is set to display a special helmet during the upcoming NASCAR Cup race at Iowa Speedway in honor of the late legend Kyle Busch. The helmet showcases various achievements from Busch's illustrious career, including his back-to-back victories at Bristol, his 2015 and 2019 NASCAR Cup titles, his first NASCAR Cup and O'Reilly wins, his 200th career win across all three national series, and a Brickyard 400 win.
Blaney explained his reasoning behind the tribute helmet, stating that he wanted to memorialize Busch's positive impact on the sport. The helmet features seven or eight of Busch's memorable wins, with each section representing his distinctive car colors. Blaney expressed his hope to use the helmet in just one race before passing it on to the Busch family, Brexton included, as a gesture of respect and admiration.
The two drivers have had numerous memorable races together, with Blaney narrowly beating Busch for his maiden Cup win at Pocono in 2017.
