In this undated image provided by Ethel M Chocolates, a delivery truck is seen outside the Ethel M Chocolates building in Henderson, Nev. NASCAR driver Kyle Busch first went to the Ethel M candy factory with his grandmother. It wasn’t a tourist stop to the young Busch, it was a candy store and his grandmother let him roam the cactus garden and rewarded him with the craft chocolates. It comes full circle Sunday at home track Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Ethel M is part of the Mars Corp., the longtime sponsor of Busch’s team. Busch will feature the brand on his car in Sunday’s race.
