9LIST ROUTIN3S | KYLE BUSCH: MORNING

1/ I start my mornings with a healthy breakfast that includes a can of Rowdy Energy. After years of representing other energy drinks, I decided that the category needed a drink that could keep up with people like myself that have a fast-past lifestyle, so I collaborated with beverage entrepreneur Jeff Church to develop Rowdy Energy. Rowdy Energy is a cleaner, smarter, energy drink that is comprised of a natural caffeine that has a sustained release in order to prevent jitters and the subsequent crash that occurs after drinking traditional energy drinks.

2/ My next stop after breakfast is the gym where I have a training program specially designed for a race car driver that helps keep my body resilient, my heart rate low and my mind clear.

3/ For motivation during my workouts I put on my JBL wireless ear buds and crank up the “Get Rowdy” playlist on Spotify.

4/In the afternoon I head to Kyle Busch Motorsports, the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series team that I own. KBM is part of the Toyota Racing Development program, where Toyota sends up-and-coming drivers to be mentored with hopes that they will move up the ladder of Toyota’s NASCAR program and become the next superstar driver in the Cup Series. KBM is the winningest team in Truck Series history having claimed a series-record 90 wins and seven championships since debuting in 2010. Current Cup Series drivers Erik Jones, William Byron, Christopher Bell, Bubba Wallace and Daniel Suarez all got their first Truck Series win at KBM.

5/ In addition to mentoring drivers in the Toyota Racing family at the NASCAR level, last year my son, Brexton, began his racing career at the age of five. Brexton’s racing is a family affair as most nights you can find myself and my wife Samantha at the track along with my parents, Samantha’s parents and often times my brother, Kurt. We are proud of the improvements Brexton has made this year winning races as multiple tracks and earning his first track championship.

6/ I also have to spend time honing my own race craft as I’m determined to add to my current collection of two Cup Series championship trophies and over 220 win trophies from across NASCAR’s top three divisions. The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season will be the first racing with a “Next Gen” car. The new car’s body was designed to look more similar to the street version and has other features that are closer to what the car manufacturers sell in the show room, such as larger wheels that use a single center-locking nut, a five-speed sequential manual transmission and an independent rear suspension. In order to be prepared for the start of the 2022 season in February, I’ll spend a lot of time in December and January testing the No. 18 M&M’s Camry that I drive for Joe Gibbs Racing.

9LIST ROUTIN3S | KYLE BUSCH: NIGHT

7/ Night time is family time. Samantha, Brexton and I always enjoy cooking at home. When it’s my turn to cook, one of my favorite things to grill is steak with my homemade seasoning recipe.

8/After a good dinner, we enjoy heading to the theatre room for family movie night. Some of our favorite movies to watch as a family are Days of Thunder, Fast and the Furious, Hunger Games, Godzilla and King Kong. While who gets to pick the movie may vary, the snack that we all enjoy does not. A bag of M&M’s is a must!

9/ With having an active lifestyle, sleeping well is a must. To help ensure that I get a good night’s rest, I sleep with a Breathe Right nasal strip to help relieve nighttime nasal congestion.
