His victory at [[Auto Club Speedway]] in 2023 made him the record holder for most consecutive seasons with a win, at 19, a streak that ended in 2024 with a winless season. At 19 years and 317 days old, Busch became NASCAR's youngest-ever [[Pole position|pole winner]] in a Cup Series race at [[California Speedway]] in 2005. He also became the youngest driver to qualify for the [[Chase for the Sprint Cup]] in 2006.

He is the only driver to win four consecutive spring races at [[Richmond International Raceway]] (2009β2012) and was the inaugural winner of the first Cup Series race at [[Kentucky Speedway]] in 2011.

In 2005, he became the 14th of just 36 drivers to win a race in each of NASCAR's three national series. In 2009, Busch made history as the first driver to win two top-tier NASCAR races on the same day at [[Auto Club Speedway]]. In 2010, he became the first driver to win races in all three of NASCAR's top series in the same weekend at [[Bristol Motor Speedway|Bristol]], a feat he repeated at the same track in 2017.

Twelve years later, on his 36th birthday, he captured victory again in the [[2021 Buschy McBusch Race 400|Buschy McBusch Race 400]] at [[Kansas Speedway]], joining [[Cale Yarborough]] as the only two drivers to win on their birthday twice.
