Kurt Busch, No. 1 Monster Energy Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE 鈥�聽鈥淭his is what kids dream of when they grow up racing. You dream of winning at your hometown track. And for two decades it鈥檚 kicked my butt. And tonight, with this Monster Energy Chevy, I鈥檓 in awe. I knew the race would come to us. We needed to get to nightfall and one of those quirky Matt McCall (crew chief) pit sequences finally unfolded. We got lucky. You鈥檝e got to be lucky in any race, but we did it tonight with teamwork and pulling through and just not giving up.
鈥淭his is Vegas and I miss the fans. I miss them so much. My dad and my mom, they were there every day at the track pushing. And Brexton, my nephew, won last night. Those thoughts were running through my head because my hometown is special. This Vegas place is special. So, thanks to Brendan Gaughan and South Point and everybody that makes this happen at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. I couldn鈥檛 be happier.鈥�
Let鈥檚 continue winning, together!
