Today, we honor NASCAR Hall of Famer Bill France Sr. Known as “Big Bill,” France was the driving force behind the formation of NASCAR in 1948. As the sport’s founder and first president, he established a unified organization for stock car racing and helped lay the foundation for what would become one of the world’s most popular forms of motorsports. France’s vision extended beyond the formation of NASCAR. He led the effort to build Daytona International Speedway, which opened in 1959. On February 22 of that year, the first Daytona 500 was held on the 2.5-mile superspeedway, with Lee Petty ultimately declared the winner after a dramatic photo finish. Through his vision, determination and belief in the future of stock car racing, Bill France Sr. helped transform a regional pastime into a national sport.

Over a 25-year NASCAR career, Kyle Busch established himself as one of the sport’s most accomplished drivers, earning two NASCAR Cup Series championships and 234 victories across NASCAR’s three national series—the most in history. Known for his competitive spirit and determination behind the wheel, Busch’s career includes 63 Cup Series victories, a record 102 O’Reilly Auto Parts Series wins and 69 Craftsman Truck Series victories. To celebrate his accomplishments and lasting impact on the sport, the NASCAR Hall of Fame is honoring Busch’s legacy through its latest exhibit, Kyle Busch: Honoring A Legacy. The exhibit features Busch’s No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Camry, the car he drove to his first Cup Series championship in 2015, along with stories highlighting his career achievements and his role as a mentor who helped develop and launch the careers of future NASCAR stars through Kyle Busch Motorsports. Kyle Busch: Honoring a Legacy opens at The NASCAR Hall of Fame on October 9th. Plan your visit: bit.ly/46KLGTS

There will never be another Kyle Busch. Enough trophies to fill buildings, lined up from the floor to the roof — 200+ wins across NASCAR's three top divisions plus a bunch of others in late models and more. A true champion, and one of the most respected to ever do it.

Instead of putting out social media about a track putting up more banners, use those same fingers & energy to type and promote the sport. For example: GO TO BRISTOL TONIGHT. - OR- GET TO YOUR NEAREST SHORT TRACK TO SEE THE MOST BAD ASS SPORT IN THE WORLD IN PERSON!! Done. 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
