Following the frustrating season-opening Daytona 500, Kyle Busch heads to Fontana, California this weekend in search of his first win of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series.
When the two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion takes the field at the Auto Club Speedway for the first time in the #8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet, he will have an all-new sponsorship partner.
On Monday, Richard Childress Racing announced Lucas Oil, a long-time partner of the team and ECR Engines, have enhanced their partnership with RCR for the 2023 NASCAR season. In addition to continued technical and development support for both RCR and ECR Engines, the lubricant brand will serve as the primary sponsor for Busch’s #8 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 at the two-mile Auto Club Speedway.
