Halloween is here and, as has been typical for Kyle Busch the #18 M&M;’S Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR), the colorful candy maker will go racing with a special Halloween scheme Sunday afternoon at Martinsville Speedway to celebrate Halloween the following day. The spooky-looking M&M;’S scheme will race Sunday at a place that used to challenge Busch earlier in his career and early on in his now almost nine-year tenure with JGR. In fact, Busch finished outside the top-10 in three out of his first four races with JGR in 2008 and 2009. By contrast, Busch has scored four top-five finishes in his last seven starts there, with his worst finish being 15th.
Q) Your racecar is sporting the special M&M;’s Halloween paint scheme this week. What was your favorite Halloween costume that you wore as a kid?
Kyle Busch: ‘Actually, one year I went as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. I think that was my favorite costume as a kid. I was Michelangelo and I even had the fake nunchuk. One year, I was a football player and, one year, I even dressed up as Jeff Gordon since he was my favorite racecar driver when I was a kid.’(JGR), see an image of the car on the #18 Team Schemes page
