For Kyle Busch, Winning Daytona 500 Is Top Of The Wish List

... top lane, but then getting the momentum from it - I saw it happening and coming and I was like, 'Man I need to get out there,'" Busch said. "And as soon as I thought about it three times, the third time was too late. I should have been out there sooner and tried to get that run.". Editor's Picks. This coming Sunday is like no other Sunday for the Mexican-born rookie, who will officially start his full-time career in NASCAR's top division and on the sport's largest stage. 1 Related. Fate appeared on Hamlin's side, and Busch certainly would want some of that Sunday when the 2017 Daytona 500 goes green. Sure, Busch has achieved great success - he won the 2015 Cup title - and piled up wins in NASCAR. He also earned an invite to the multinational Race of Champions earlier this year in Miami. He didn't win there (at least not on the track - more on that later), but it certainly was another day where he knew he ranked among the best in the business. Still, he doesn't have that signature Daytona 500 win to his credit. It doesn't appear Busch has gotten to the point where he appears stressed out over not ...

... members of Logano’s team had Busch in a headlock. Here’s video from Jeff Gluck. Busch emerged worse for the wear too with a cut on his forehead. View photos. (Via Fox). “I got dumped, flat out just drove straight into the corner and wrecked me,” Busch said. He then followed with a threat of retribution. “That’s how Joey races, so he’s going to get it.”. For his part, Logano said the two normally don’t have issues with one another on the track.

Kyle and I usually race really well together. We usually never have any issues, and he tried to pin me down into the corner underneath Brad and we about crashed on entry.

Kyle Busch Leads Train Of Toyotas In Friday's Second Cup Practice

... their cars in preparation of the Daytona 500. The Joe Gibbs Racing had the top three speeds in the draft with Kyle Busch (197.265 mph) leading the way followed by Matt Kenseth (197.256 mph) and Denny Hamlin (197.109 mph). JGR’s effort appeared eerily similar to last February, where five Toyotas aligned to push Hamlin to the win. Rookies Erik Jones and Daniel Suarez rounded out the top five with a speeds of 197.053 mph and 197.036 mph, respectively. Dale Earnhardt Jr. was one of the first cars on the track. Paul Menard quickly joined the conga line along with Chase Elliott, Ty Dillon and Trevor Bayne. Earnhardt’s best lap was 194.477 mph He ran 10 laps in the draft and practiced hot-pitting before returning to the garage during his first run. Two minutes later, the six Toyotas of Joe Gibbs Racing and Furniture Row Racing lined-up to push the No. 11 of Denny Hamlin to the top of the leader board in two laps. Martin Truex Jr. was fastest on the third lap, but one lap later, Hamlin regained the lead. The Toyotas completed 14 laps together before Kyle Busch, who was the fastest of his teammates, experienced a vibration with his roof flap tether came loose and elected ...

Kyle Busch Wins Atlanta Xfinity Race For 2nd Year In A Row

... lap of the NASCAR Xfinity auto race at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Ga., Saturday, March 4, 2017. (AP Photo/John Amis). # Comments. HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — After a bunch of close calls at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Kyle Busch has found the winning touch in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Busch cruised to his second straight Atlanta victory in the second-tier series Saturday. With a helping hand from lapped cars, the pole-winner was able to hold off fellow Cup driver Brad Keselowski by 0.606 seconds. No one else was within 2 seconds of the front. But Busch’s triumph was tarnished several hours after the race. NASCAR officials announced that the No. 18 machine failed a post-race inspection, with both the right and left front measuring too low. The car will be taken to the Research & Development Center near Charlotte for further testing, with any penalties to be announced next week. The team could face a loss of points and a suspension ...

Kyle Busch Explains Toyotas’ Early Reversal Of Fortune

... Obviously, Matt (Kenseth) had a decent day. He was able to overcome a couple penalties and get back to where he needed to be. There’s some strength there. “For me in the 18 car, though, we’re just lacking the ability to have the amount of front turn in the race car that I’m looking for because of this lack of downforce. They took a lot of front downforce away from the car (under 2017 rules), and apparently, I rely heavily on that being able to cut through the corners. We’ve got to get a little bit better aero platform going, balance-wise, aero balance, as well, through the corners and figuring out how to do all of that through our setups in the race car.”. Compounding the loss of roughly 500 pounds of downforce this year is Toyota’s introduction of a new Camry race car. Not surprisingly, there have been some growing pains. “I don’t think that this was a surprise to anyone that the lower-downforce package was going to hinder anybody,” Busch said. “We all knew it and expected it, and we ...
