Kyle Busch claimed NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory for the second weekend in a row in his Bosch-equipped No. 18 Interstate Batteries Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Camry at the Duck Commander 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. 

Kyle Busch claimed NASCAR® Sprint Cup Series™ victory for the second weekend in a row — April 8-10 — in his Bosch-equipped No. 18 Interstate Batteries Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota Camry at the Duck Commander 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.

This feat, coupled with his wins in the Xfinity Series and Camping World Truck Series over the last two weekends make Busch only the second NASCAR driver in the last 25 years to sweep consecutive weekends. In recognition of Busch’s Sprint Cup Series victory, the Bosch Automotive Aftermarket NA Giving Track Program is making its second $1,000 charitable contribution of the season to the Kyle Busch Foundation based in Mooresville, North Carolina. To date in 2016, Bosch has contributed $7,000 to the charities of its sponsored teams, $4,000 of which has been earned by Joe Gibbs Racing teams with half of that amount going to the Kyle Busch Foundation.

The Kyle Busch Foundation is committed to empowering children, families and communities to overcome hardship by providing essential tools, including financial, material and experiential assistance, to allow them to live their best lives possible. The Foundation’s efforts are concentrated on assisting organizations that foster a stable and inspiring environment for children, families and communities to live, learn, challenge and empower themselves as well as ensuring their day-to-day needs are met.

“Kyle is one of the most exciting drivers out there! His determination and strength on the track have led him to his second straight NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory,” said Tony Pauly, director of advertising and brand management for Robert Bosch LLC, Automotive Aftermarket North America. “Not only is Bosch proud to support Kyle and Joe Gibbs Racing with Bosch parts and services, we are proud to play a part in the work they have done through the Kyle Busch Foundation.”

Bosch involvement in motorsports dates back to the early 1900’s, and it has been equipping NASCAR teams with parts and technical advice since 1991. In 2012, when the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series made the move from carbureted engines to more efficient fuel injected engines, Bosch became the sport’s exclusive oxygen sensor supplier. Beginning in 2016, Bosch has expanded its agreement with NASCAR to include fuel injectors and fuel pumps.
