No. 2 Kyle Busch

| | Comments (0) |

No driver is hotter than Kyle Busch. He has three straight NASCAR Nationwide Series wins. He has said if he wins five in a row, he wants to race the whole season. He leads the Truck Series standings, and he is in the hunt for the top spot in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings.
But Talladega Superspeedway has not been a good track for Busch in Cup races.
He crashed in last year's spring race at Talladega and finished 37th. He crashed again in the fall race and was 36th.
“This place has been one of our worst tracks as far as finishing goes," said Busch, driver of the No. 18 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. "But yeah, I’m excited to get going. You know, we ran well at Daytona, and I feel like we should be good here too."
The car his team is bringing to Talladega is the car that J.J. Yeley drove in the spring race and finished 18th. It is also the same car that served at Busch's back-up at Daytona.
"We’re bringing a decent car with us," Busch said. "I know (crew chief) Steve (Addington) knows what he’s doing at a superspeedway, so I feel comfortable there. It’ll just be a matter of keeping our nose clean and staying out of trouble. That’ll probably never change at Talladega.”
