Saturday at 2 p.m. ET NBC revisits the amazing comeback story of 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Kyle Busch. The one-hour special, 18 Rising Presented by Toyota, chronicles Busch’s inconceivable year. The journey began with a hard crash and broken bones in Daytona, followed by a tough recovery that spanned 11 regular-season races, then finished with a dominating march to Miami that climaxed with a Sprint Cup Championship.

The special brings viewers behind the scenes with Busch during the off-season, showcasing tender moments at home with his wife Samantha and young son Brexton. Cameras also follow Busch and race team owner Joe Gibbs to the Toyota factory in Georgetown, KY, where they visit with workers, share stories and offer photos with the Sprint Cup trophy.
