Like many people who excel in their careers, Busch started driving at an early age.

He first began racing when he was 13 years old in 1998, going on to win 65 races in legends car racing competitions from 1999 to 2001. He later graduated to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at age 16.

He formally joined NASCAR in 2004 after signing on as a Hendrick Motorsports development driver. In February that year he drove a No. 5 Lowe's Chevrolet in the NASCAR Busch Series Hershey's Kisses 300 at Daytona International Speedway. He finished in 24th place.

Busch showed great promise in his career from the outset. Later in 2004, he won the NASCAR Busch Series Rookie of the Year Award after five wins -- the most ever obtained by a rookie in the sport's history -- and a second-place points finish. Busch also won his first NASCAR Cup Series race at the Sony HD 500 at California Speedway in 2005 at age 20. At the time, he was the youngest driver to ever win a NASCAR cup race.

In the 2008 season, Busch joined Joe Gibbs Racing, an alliance that he has maintained up into the present day.

Busch established Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) after purchasing the remainder to Xpress Motorsports and purchasing vehicles from Roush Fenway Racing's defunct truck team in 2009. Today, the stock car racing team competes in the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series.

Busch surprised doctors and fans when he won his first title in 2015 after sustaining what was expected to be a serious injury in a car crash. Despite doctors forecasting that he would be out for the remainder of the season, Busch made a quick recovery and joined the ranks in the All-Star race in May.

In 2018, Busch obtained his 51st Cup Series victory, beating out NASCAR hall of fame drivers like Bill Elliott and Farmers Ned Jarrett. Jimmie Johnson is currently the only active driver boasting more wins.
