Siemens PLM Software-Sponsored Joe Gibbs Racing Driver Kyle Busch Dominates First Half of NASCAR Season
Siemens PLM Software announced that Siemens PLM Software-sponsored Joe Gibbs Racing® – whose cars are developed with the help of Siemens PLM Software technology – dominated the first half of the season with driver Kyle Bush’s 14 victories, including seven NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Races.
Busch, the current NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points-leader, won three of the last four Sprint Cup Series races including back-to-back wins at the LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway and Coke Zero 400 Powered by Coca-Cola at Daytona International Speedway. Busch’s seven Sprint Cup Series wins in 2008 is the most among all drivers. In addition to the seven wins, Busch has had 12 top-5 and 13 top-10 finishes.
Joe Gibbs Racing has eight Sprint Cup Series wins in 2008, the most of any team. Denny Hamlin, Busch’s teammate, won the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at Martinsville to add to Busch’s seven wins.
Busch’s success is not limited to the Sprint Cup Series; he also has five Nationwide Series wins and two Craftsman® Truck Series wins, for a total of 14 victories this year.
“Siemens PLM Software congratulates Kyle Busch, Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota® for their dominant performance through the first half of the year,” said Dave Shirk, executive vice president of Global Marketing for Siemens PLM Software. “Siemens PLM Software is proud of our relationship with the racing teams and along with our customers is pleased to know that our solutions help the teams succeed.”
