Candyman Kyle Busch Picks Up 99th Career Xfinity Series Win In Texas
Kyle Busch Gets Career Win #99 in Xfinity Series at Texas Motor Speedway
The last time we did an article on Kyle Busch, we discussed his 98th Xfinity Series win at COTA. His 2021 Xfinity Series campaign continues down a path of glory as he picks up another win, this time at the very fast Texas Motor Speedway.
Kyle Busch continues living up to his "Candyman" name by picking up a win in his Mars Chocolate-sponsored Twix car. Driving for Joe Gibbs Racing in his #54 Toyota Supra, he won an overtime restart to take the win. Busch took home the checkered flag in the Alsco Uniforms 250, the shortest NASCAR race at Texas Motor Speedway.
On Saturday, June 12th, 2021, Kyle Busch won the Xfinity Series race at Texas Motor Speedway. He held off Austin Cindric, last year's winner, in an overtime restart to land his #54 Twix Toyota Supra in victory lane.

Kyle Busch Xfinity Series Texas Twix Die-cast
Indeed, this is one of the best-looking cars that Kyle Busch has won with. Adding to his legacy of candy-themed paint jobs, Kyle Busch's race-winning car is being offered for preorder now by Lionel Racing, the official die-cast of NASCAR.
In one of their striking Raced Win products, the car will be made on a 1:24 scale with real race damage including scuffs and dirt from the race. These continue to be the most popular of the NASCAR die-casts.
Look for Kyle Busch to be a Contender at NASCAR's Return To Nashville
In an exciting twist to the schedule of NASCAR's 2021 season, the sport will return to Nashville Superspeedway for the first time since 2011. Kyle Busch was very effective at this track in the Xfinity Series, taking home a win in 2009. He was notably criticized when his younger self took the guitar trophy from the race and smashed it in victory lane.
While this was one of the races that established Kyle Busch as the bad guy of NASCAR, it also was one of the races which showcased his absolute dominance of the lower series of NASCAR.
Look for Busch to be a heavy favorite when NASCAR returns to Nashville Superspeedway for the first time in 10 years.

Opinions and Perspectives
Incredible to see Kyle Busch dominating again! That overtime restart against Cindric was pure racing gold.
I'm not a huge fan of Cup drivers running in Xfinity, but you can't deny his talent behind the wheel.
Anyone else remember when he smashed that guitar trophy in Nashville? Still can't believe he did that.
The Twix paint scheme looks amazing. I've already preordered the die-cast for my collection.
Makes me wonder if he'll actually hit 100 wins this season. He's already 2 for 2 in his scheduled races.
The guitar incident really showed his immaturity back then. I think he's grown a lot since those days.
You're right about his growth. The Kyle Busch we see today is much more composed than the younger version.
That Twix car is definitely one of the best-looking rides I've seen this season.
I was at the race in Texas. The crowd went wild during that overtime finish!
Looking forward to seeing what he can do at Nashville. He's always been strong there.
Not sure why people complain about Cup drivers in Xfinity. It raises the competition level for everyone.
Actually disagree there. It takes opportunities away from younger drivers who need the experience.
The Mars sponsorship has given us some of the coolest paint schemes in NASCAR history.
I miss the old Nashville Superspeedway races. Glad to see NASCAR going back there.
Think he'll smash another guitar if he wins at Nashville this time?
No way he'd do that now. That was young Kyle being young Kyle.
The Texas race felt short but man was it action-packed!
Just watched the highlights. That last restart was incredible stuff.
These Raced Win die-casts are getting better every year. Love the attention to detail.
Wonder if he'll run more races if he doesn't hit 100 wins this year.
My money's on him winning at Road America. He's been crushing it on road courses lately.
The Candyman nickname really fits with all these sweet paint schemes.
Atlanta's going to be interesting. Track's been repaved since his last Xfinity race there.
That Twix scheme reminds me of the old Snickers car he used to run.
