Overview
- Organizers announced that the Kyle Busch Invitational will be held at Bowman Gray Stadium on Friday, Aug. 21, with races for Legends cars and Bandoleros that highlight grassroots short‑track development.
- All proceeds from the Invitational are designated for the Samantha and Kyle Busch Bundle of Joy Fund, the couple’s nonprofit that provides grants to help families pay for in vitro fertilization and related fertility care.
- Broadcasters plan to carry the event live, with reports naming FloSports (also described in some coverage as FloRacing) and the NASCAR Channel as the outlets that will air the races.
- Samantha Busch posted on Instagram that the night will “celebrate everything Kyle loved,” noting his commitment to local tracks and to mentoring young drivers; their son Brexton is currently competing in Legends cars.
- The Invitational builds on Bowman Gray’s recent revival under NASCAR management, which took a lease on the venue in March 2024, and comes ahead of NASCAR’s free, public Celebration of Life for Kyle Busch on Oct. 9 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
