More than a month later, Kurt Busch still is basking in his Daytona 500 victory.
Busch has been lugging around his Harley J. Earl trophy on his “Where’s Earl?” tour, taking the hardware to his Las Vegas high school, the Chicago Cubs’ spring training camp and other stops.
The ultimate destination for the trophy was Haas Automation’s headquarters in Oxnard, California, which he visited this week (NASCAR is in Southern California for Sunday’s race in Fontana).
Busch has continued to document his tour on Twitter as the Stewart-Haas Racing driver has made multiple TV appearances and taken the trophy for a long walk on the beach.
Here’s a look at all the stops Busch and Earl have made this week ahead of the Cup Series race weekend at Auto Club Speedway.

According to Earl, his home beach at #DaytonaBeach is nicer and he prefers the warmer water temps. #WheresEarl #Malibu #KB41 pic.twitter.com/Rwb9pLFCvY
