Caruth will drive the No. 77 Chevrolet Silverado during the Truck Series race. This vehicle will feature a yellow, black, and silver scheme that throws it back to the No. 18 Dollar General Toyota.
Mosack will drive the No. 7 Chevrolet Silverado. His scheme will feature a black base with red accents. This throws it back to the No. 51 Chevrolet Silverado. This scheme will also feature a massive "100 wins" decal on the bed cover, complete with the Kyle Busch Motorsports logo.
Remembering win No. 100 for KBM.

The race weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway is the fitting location for the throwbacks. After all, the track will host a celebration of life for Busch on Oct. 9 after the end of the Truck Series race. It will remain free and open for anyone who wants to come honor Busch.
The first win in Kyle Busch Motorsports history played out like many of the other 99. This win featured Busch starting from the pole position at Nashville Superspeedway on April 2, 2010.
He then led 131 of the 150 laps in the yellow and black Dollar General Toyota. He won the race over Kevin Harvick by a margin of 0.426 seconds.
Many drivers contributed to the 100-win total over the decade-plus that Kyle Busch Motorsports operated. However, Busch is the man who delivered the 99th and 100th wins after the team switched to Chevrolet.
The 100th win took place at Pocono Raceway on July 22, 2023. Busch only led seven laps at the 2.5-mile track, but he led the only one that mattered. He took the lead from Corey Heim after taking the white flag, and he went on to celebrate a milestone for his Truck Series team.
Kyle Busch Motorsports ceased operations after the 2023 season. Busch sold his team and the shop to Spire Motorsports. Though he continued making starts for the team while winning five times.
