Description

The Buschy McBusch Race 400 is a NASCAR Cup Series race held at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas.
The inaugural STP 400 was held on June 5, 2011. Like the fall race at Kansas, the distance of the race was 400.5 miles (644.542 km). Brad Keselowski won the inaugural running of the race ahead of Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The race has undergone various name changes throughout its history. After being known as the STP 500 from 2011 to 2013, it was renamed the "5-hour Energy 400 Benefiting Special Operations Warrior Foundation" in 2014. Nickelodeon sponsored the 2015 race via the SpongeBob SquarePants television show, followed by GoBowling.com from 2016 to 2017. KC Masterpiece and Digital Ally respectively assumed naming rights in 2018 and 2019, followed by O'Reilly Auto Parts' Super Start Batteries brand in 2020.
The title sponsorship for the race changed again in 2021 from Super Start Batteries to Busch Beer, one of NASCAR's premier partners. The name of the race itself was announced as the "Busch Name This Race 400", as the company announced that fans would have the opportunity to choose another name for the race through a contest on their website. Fans paid $1 to participate, which went to the non-profit charity Farm Rescue. The winning name was "Buschy McBusch Race 400".

Busch’s No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota took the lead on a restart with two laps remaining and held off the field by .336 seconds Sunday at Kansas Speedway to give him his first NASCAR Cup Series win of the season – 58th of his career – and new crew chief Ben Beshore the first win of his career.
