Kyle “Rowdy” Busch and the No. 51 Miccosukee Resort/ Graceway Pharmaceuticals™ Toyota Tundra team head to Phoenix International Raceway undefeated in the past five consecutive NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races that Busch has piloted the Billy Ballew Motorsports entry.
The win at Texas Motor Speedway last week was Busch’s 16th-victory in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and the teams’ 17th win. This places Billy Ballew Motorsports 10th in all-time NASCAR Truck Series wins, fourth among active teams still competing. Crew chief of the No. 51 Tundra, Richie Wauters is sixth on the list of all time crew chief wins and third among active crew chiefs.
