Kyle Busch just climbed behind the wheel of the No. 51 Billy Ballew Motorsports Toyota Tundra Friday, January 11, 2008 at the Daytona International Speedway in preparation for his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at the famed Daytona Beach Speedway.

Busch has one win at the 2.5-mile tri-oval last posted July 2007 in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. He has yet to find victory in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series but has finished second twice.
