NASCAR Fans Are About to See Something They Haven’t Seen in a Long Time

NASCAR fans can expect to witness something rare this weekend as two of the sport's biggest stars pay tribute to a legendary figure. Kyle Larson will take to the Las Vegas track, recreating one of Busch’s most iconic paint schemes – the Kellogg’s No. 5 for Hendrick Motorsports. This tribute comes at a significant moment, as Las Vegas was Busch’s hometown track.

The event is also set to mark another lap in the legacy of Busch, one of NASCAR's biggest personalities. Bristol, another key track, will see Ty Gibbs driving the No. 54 in M&M’s colors, honoring the branding that became synonymous with Busch during his time at Joe Gibbs Racing. This move could be even more impactful, as Busch won eight Cup Series races at Bristol and had two weekend sweeps there.

The return of these classic colors on the track serves as a poignant reminder of NASCAR's evolution. For longtime fans, seeing the Kellogg’s No. 5 and M&M’s branding again will undoubtedly evoke memories of the sport's storied past. The tribute shows NASCAR's commitment to honoring its history while pushing the sport forward.
