He was signed up for the maximum of five races in 2021 with Joe Gibbs Racing and ended up winning in all of his starts, getting to 102 career Xfinity Series wins after a victory at Atlanta Motor Speedway. After a year off from Xfinity competition, Busch will return to the series as part of Kaulig Racing's all-star No. 10 entry in 2023 that is also slated to be driven by Cup regulars Justin Haley, Austin Dillon, and AJ Allmendinger. Busch's five-race slate will include Las Vegas (March 4), Phoenix (March 11), Charlotte (May 27), Watkins Glen (Aug. 19), and Darlington (Sept. 2). Busch has totaled a whopping 25 wins at those five tracks alone in his Xfinity Series career.
