Busch Drives Appalachian State-Branded Car to NASCAR Win

CHARLOTTE – The specially branded NASCAR Xfinity Series car driven by Kyle Busch produced a familiar finishing position for Appalachian State: first place.

The Black and Gold No. 54 car featuring App State logos as well as a congratulatory message for App State's graduating seniors in the Class of 2020 made a dramatic last-lap pass and crossed the finish line first Monday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway, giving Busch a win in the Alsco 300.

Holding the checkered flag during his on-track interview with FS1, Busch delivered another message to App State's recent graduates and even referenced the historic upset of Michigan from 2007.
