Kurt Busch
During his rookie year, Kurt Busch almost won the All-Star race and the Coca-Cola 600. Busch almost hit pit road's yellow barrels after the Richmond race. It would have cost him championship.

Todd Gilliland and Noah Gragson as well.

Some people have won the event. Kyle Busch, Dale Earnhardt, and Kyle Busch are just two examples. Truex isn’t the only Toyota NXS driver who has had a notable career. Let's take a closer glance at a few these drivers.

Busch's career in NASCAR
Kyle Busch declared in 2015 that he would not compete in restrictor plate races. He crashed in a truck-race with just five laps left. It was quite shocking. He recovered and won the Can-Am Duel. His next race, Daytona 500 500, was also a success. Busch won the pole position at the Duel. He subsequently started on the front row. After a stop/go penalty, he resumed the field and finished second. Busch was third in the Daytona 500.
Pit strategy for Toyota nascar drivers
Toyota will now coordinate the pit strategy with all its drivers. Three different manufacturers will conduct coordinated pit stops, and then take turns pitting each car when the green signal is given. The Toyota cars were separated in pit stops last year which resulted in them losing track position and the chance to win. Although the new pit stop choreography is a good solution, it's not perfect. Pit crews will still be divided by manufacturers, but it will be faster and easier for them.
