No rest for Kyle Busch
It might be an off weekend of racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, but Kyle Busch will be on the race track Saturday night.
The leader in the Cup standings will be in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Kentucky Speedway. He has missed the past two Truck Series races and has the No. 51 truck for Billy Ballew Motorsports in fifth place in the owners standings.
"It's been great to be able to have the success that we've had this year," said Busch. "In the Truck Series, we ran second at Daytona, we won at California and Atlanta back-to-back, and haven't really had much since. We've had fast trucks just haven't had the opportunities to win races in them."
In addition to leading the Cup standings, Busch is the series leader in wins with seven. He also has five Nationwide Series this year, but hasn't won a Truck Series race since March in Atlanta.
"We have to try and get back on task," Busch said. "Try to get back on what we were doing earlier this year and get our trucks back going again. We tried some different things and they weren't working to well for us, so we feel like we are back on track here this weekend in Kentucky. We had a good truck in practice there and made some gains on it. Hopefully, we can go back out here in the second practice -- a little bit closer to night time -- and have a good solid run."
