Kurt Busch gave Jordan Brand a victory in its first race as a sponsor after the veteran driver won NASCAR’s race at Kansas Speedway on Sunday.
Busch's car was inspired by the Air Jordan III Black Cement elephant print. It was the first time that Jordan's company sponsored one of his race cars after his team began operations in 2021.
The win was in doubt throughout the afternoon, with Busch trailing his brother Kyle Busch and race leader Kyle Larson in the closing laps. Kurt got around Kyle with 21 laps to go, and then set his sights on the defending series champion. Stalking his prey, the elder Busch brother made a move past Larson exiting turn two with just eight laps to go. From there, the No. 45 Jordan car cruised to the win.
Busch, 43, is no stranger to victory lane. He now has 34 career wins, including at least one in nine straight seasons, and one championship in 2004. This is his first season driving for 23XI Racing after his former team, Chip Ganassi Racing, was sold following the 2021 season. WE DID IT!!!!! We had to play like the GOAT and race like the GOAT to win like the GOAT! This was all about teamwork!
