Gateway is paying tribute to the late Kyle Busch by introducing the track's new trophy prior to Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race. Busch, who passed away suddenly on May 21, earned his 63rd and final Cup Series win at Gateway, also known as World Wide Technology Raceway, back in June 2023.
Gateway is calling it the "Rowdy" trophy, an homage to Busch's signature nickname he earned during his illustrious NASCAR career. The trophy will be presented to the winner of Sunday's Enjoy Illinois 300, which is the second race of the Chase.
In the media center at WTT Raceway sits the new "Rowdy Trophy" dedicated to the late Kyle Busch. Engraved on the trophy is a special message that reads:
"The Rowdy Trophy … In recognition of his contribution to the sport and his final win at WTT Raceway"
Jeff Gluck, motorsports writer for The Athletic, shared an up-close look at the trophy in a social media video.
