Kyle Busch will participate in his 19th Daytona 500 race this Sunday. The 2024 NASCAR season kicks off next week with the highly esteemed Daytona 500 weekend. A total of 40 drivers from the Cup Series will compete for the ultimate victory in Premier Stock Racing. Among the current lineup, there are seven previous winners of the Daytona 500, as well as six Cup champions who have yet to secure a victory in this race.
One of the most prominent names on the list is a two-time Cup champion who currently races for Richard Childress Racing’s No:8 Chevy Camaro ZL1 team. Despite his success, he has yet to win the Daytona 500. This Sunday will mark his 19th appearance in the race, and he is optimistic about breaking his losing streak this season.
A former teammate of Kyle Busch and a three-time Daytona 500 champion believes that 2024 could be Busch’s year. In a podcast, he expressed his prediction that both himself and Busch would be strong contenders for the victory. The driver from Joe Gibbs Racing has a strong intuition about Busch, who hails from Las Vegas, securing the win.
Even legendary NASCAR champions like and are part of the list of Cup title winners who have never won the Daytona 500. This unfortunate list includes six active champions, including Busch.
Above Busch, the driver with the most starts in the Daytona 500 without a win is the 2017 Cup champion. He currently drives for Joe Gibbs Racing and is in the final phase of his career. Following him is the 2012 Cup champion, who has participated in the 500-mile event 14 times.
The list also includes the 2021 Cup champion, who races for Hendrick Motorsports, and his teammate, the 2020 champion. Even the reigning Cup champion has yet to claim victory in the Daytona 500.
