No. 5 at Phoenix

The first Cup race NASCAR driver Kyle Busch ever saw was at Phoenix International Raceway. It was a race won by Terry Labonte, who was driving the No. 5 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports.
Now Busch is in the No. 5 Chevrolet and has created his own winning history at Phoenix. He won the Phoenix Cup race in the fall of 2005.
"I love Phoenix. It's a cool place," Busch said. "It's the first track I ever saw a Cup race at -- and Terry Labonte won it, so it's special that I'm lucky enough to drive the No. 5 car there. I run well there so it's a great place for me."
Last year wasn't so productive for Busch at Phoenix. His best finish in two Cup races there was 36th. He was 38th in the other race.
"Last year we won the pole for this race and our first problem was that I was busted for speeding on pit road," Busch said. "I'll tell you what, that extra 100 rpm doesn't matter to me anymore. I've had guys pass me on pit road and I know NASCAR gives you a five-mile-an-hour buffer, but I've been busted too many times and it's not worth it to me. I will be doing the speed limit this season."
