Kyle Busch holds the record for the most all-time wins [231] in all three of NASCAR's national touring series. The record recently came to the fans' notice after Ryan Blaney's Cup race at Iowa, where he won all three NASCAR National Series races.

Blaney, by winning the recent Iowa Corn 350 Cup race, achieved two other feats: he led a career-high 201 laps in that race. The Team Penske driver also became the first to win at Iowa in all NASCAR formats—Craftsman Truck, Xfinity, and Cup. He won the Truck Series race in 2012 and the Xfinity one in 2015.

The list of drivers who have won races on the same track in all three NASCAR National Series features Kyle Busch at the top. He stands tall with 17 wins, among drivers such as Kevin Harvick [7], Mark Martin [4], Christopher Bell [1], Carl Edwards [1], Chase Elliott [1], Kasey Kahne [1], Brad Keselowski [1], and Bobby Labonte [1].

Motorsports journalist Peter Stratta shared the stats on his social media account [X] with details of the tracks on which drivers have won across all three NASCAR series, captioned:

"@Blaney is the 10th driver to win across all 3 #NASCAR National Series at 1 track @iowaspeedway."

Reflecting on the numbers, NASCAR fans commented on the post with one comparing Kyle Busch's stats to LeBron James' wins:

"Kyle Busch on this list makes this really look like a LeBron stat."

Some fans were astonished to see Kyle Busch's stats considering he has been having a not-so-good 2024 season so far.

"Prime KFB was a scary man," One fan said.
"Should've added a nice x2 next to Kyle for Bristol. He was on another level," another stated.
"Kyles stats are insaneee 🔥🔥," a NASCAR enthusiast said.

Another fan chimed in, saying:

"He really is KFB. 17 different tracks to have won in all three series @KyleBusch @DGodfatherMoody @SpotterBrett @FreddieKraft @SkipFlores."

"You can’t self-proclaim" - Kyle Busch on LeBron James called himself the greatest player

2016 was a standout year for LeBron James, as his team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, overcame the Golden State Warriors, who had set a record with 73 wins and only nine losses during the regular season. In a dramatic turn of events, the Warriors famously squandered their 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals to the Cavaliers.

As a result, James proclaimed himself the greatest basketball player of all time, as he said (via CBS Sports):

"That one right there made me the greatest player of all time…that’s what I felt."

However, James' statement did not sit well with Kyle Busch, and he took a shot at the NBA player.

"I’m kinda weirded out by what LeBron James had to say a few weeks ago about he feels as though he’s the greatest of all time. You can’t self-proclaim that. I’ll never self-proclaim myself as the greatest of all time," Busch said (via NBC Sports).
