Traxxas, the leading manufacturer of hobby-class radio-controlledvehicles, returns as the primary sponsor of Kyle Busch’s No. 18 Tundra for the VFW 200 Saturday at Michigan International Speedway, the second of three races the Plano, Texas-based company will sponsor in 2011. Busch, an R/C enthusiast, will be looking to make it a perfect five-for-five in races which Traxxas’ logo adorns the hood of his Tundra. In 2010, the Las Vegas native collected wins behind the wheel of the No. 18 Traxxas Tundra at Chicagoland Speedway, Talladega Superspeedway and Homestead-Miami Speedway and this May he kept perfection intact by winning the Lucas Oil 200 at Dover International Speedway. Kyle Busch has finished first or second in exactly half of his 94 career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) starts. Busch’s runner-up finish last weekend at Pocono Raceway was the 18th of his career to go along with 29 victories.(Kyle Busch Motorsports PR)(8-16-2011)
