Believe it or not,  Las Vegas native Kurt Busch was once a NASCAR Cup Series Champion and one of the most polarizing drivers in the entire support. Despite the fact that he still hasn't won a championship in years at the time of this writing and has bounced around from ride to ride, his consistency is unmatched in several areas. He's considered a veteran presence in the sport, which is part of what landed him the job at 23XI Racing with Bubba Wallace as his teammate.

In the end, Busch sits with 33 wins, including a Daytona 500, 156 top fives, and 331 top-tens throughout his 21 year Cup Series career. Again, he pales in comparison to guys like his brother, Kyle, who has captured two championships and 59 victories, but he still has finished well with several different teams around the league. His staying power is just tremendous.
