| BIOGRAPHY
|
| Week six of the 2012 NASCAR Nationwide Series race season brings the #54 Monster Energy team to Texas Motor Speedway with a new face behind the wheel. Kurt Busch, the 2004 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champion and older brother to team owner Kyle Busch, looks to add a victory to the record book for the newly formed Kyle Busch Motorsports Nationwide Series team, and to his own NNS resume that already includes three wins and three poles in 13 career series starts. This weekend's TMS event will be the first of an estimated 17 Nationwide Series events in which the elder Busch will drive the #54 Monster Energy entry for KBM.(Kyle Busch Motorsports)(4-10-2012)
