Tom Roberts, who handles public relations for Kurt Busch and Miller Brewing, came up with the following statistics comparing Busch and younger brother Kyle at the same point in their careers.
Kurt Busch completed his 125th Cup race on May 15, 2004 at Richmond International Raceway while Kyle Busch ran his 125th Cup race this past Saturday night at Darlington Raceway.
Here is a breakdown of how the Busch brothers fared through the first 125 races of their careers:
Kurt Busch:
9 wins
25 top 5s
45 top 10s
20 DNFs
2 poles
Kyle Busch:
7 wins
37 top 5s
59 top 10s
16 DNFs
3 poles
It also should be noted that Kurt Busch won the series championship in 2004 – his fourth full Cup season. This is Kyle Busch’s fourth full season in the series.
Will Kyle follow in his brother’s footsteps and win the championship this season?
