Kyle Busch will sport a new number when his M&M's Toyota Camry rolls into Charlotte Motor Speedway for the NASCAR Sprint All Star Race on May 21.
To celebrate the 75th birthday of the iconic candy-coated chocolates, Busch will trade in his usual number 18 for the number 75 for the race, continuing season-long celebration for the brand that kicked off with a birthday party at the Daytona 500 in February.
The number switch is for one race only, and is allowed in the All Star race since the it is a non-points event.
As part of the 75th birthday celebration, fans have been sharing their favorite M&M's racing moments during lap 75 of each Sprint Cup race this season, using the hashtag #MMS75.
"We've had fun all season celebrating M&M's birthday with our fans – there has been a lot to celebrate since their big year comes right after our incredible championship," said Busch. "For us the best part has been reading our fans' favorite M&M's racing memories, and hopefully with our success so far this season, we've been able to make a few more."
