KBM Sets Monster, Busch Bros. for Nationwide Ride

Jan 19 2012 - 4:27pm

Kyle Busch Motorsports today announced that the team owner and brother Kurt would compete together in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, driving a Kyle-owned car for the NNS owner's championship.

Monster Energy is the sponsor of the No. 54 Monster Emergy Toyota Camry, and Kyle Busch will drive 12-14 races, with Kurt taking on the remaining events.

Kyle Busch said sponsor NOS, also an energy drink company, was phasing out its racing involvement, and Monster stepped in with a program for all 33 races.

Ironically, the No. 51 was not available, so the brothers stayed in the 50s and added the number 4, which both had driven growing up.

More news later as it becomes available.
