‘Busch Brings Home Best Finish for Ballew in his First NCTS Start at DIS’

In a breath holding 100 lap, 250 mile NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race Friday, February 15 at the Daytona International Speedway, Kyle Busch brought home a second place finish missing the win by a mere .007 seconds.

Busch, in the No. 51 NOS Energy Drink Toyota Tundra, made his first start in a NCTS race at the prestigious 2.5-mile superspeedway for Billy Ballew Motorsports and posted a 21st place starting position for the race.

Shortly after the green flag dropped, Busch reported that the truck was not responding with the coil binding set-up causing it to be difficult to turn. Air pressure changes were to be made on the first pit stop and it came on lap 11 allowing the NOS Energy Drink team led by Richie Wauters to make the adjustments. (more…)
