Busch won at Nashville in the Xfinity Series in 2009 and the Truck series in 2010 and 2011, but the track closed the year he won his last race.
“I remember growing up as a kid watching Mark Martin win every week and wondering, ‘Can anybody beat this guy?’ And that was 49 wins,” Busch said.
“Why? Did you hear the crowd? Nobody likes me,” Busch said.
NASCAR allows Cup drivers to compete in only five Xfinity and five Truck series races a year and Busch uses all of his starts.
Busch was vilified by fans in 2009 for smashing the winner’s Gibson guitar trophy in Victory Lane and he playfully pretended he was going to do it again while celebrating NASCAR’s reopening.
