Seven time NASCAR champion Richard Petty will forever be known as The King! His 200 Cup Series wins will most likely never be broken.
But there is one current NASCAR driver who has amassed a whopping 232 wins across all three racing series – two of which did not even exist when Petty was driving. Kyle Busch has smashed records across the board with over 100 Xfinity Series wins, over 65 Craftsman Truck Series wins, and the only driver to win in all three series in the same weekend; a feat he mastered twice.
