Kurt Busch buys NASCAR truck from his rookie season for $110,000 at auction

At the Mecum Auction at Nashville Superspeedway, a 2000 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race car driven by Kurt Busch during his rookie season sold for $110,000. The truck, chassis No. 99 Exide Ford F-150, was purchased by Kurt Busch himself, despite it being a little more than he initially wanted to spend. Kurt expressed his satisfaction in a recorded video made during the auction bidding.

The truck played a significant role in Busch's successful rookie campaign, as he secured a total of four wins and finished second in the championship. Kurt's career in NASCAR has been marked by numerous achievements, including winning the 2004 NASCAR Cup Series championship and 34 Cup races. During the auction, 38 pieces of Roush Racing history were offered for sale, with Busch's truck being the highest-priced item.
