Billy Ballew Motorsports heads to the Phoenix International Raceway this week for the 24th race of the 25 race NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season with Kyle Busch behind the wheel of the No. 51 Miccosukee Resort Toyota Tundra.

The team overcoming huge adversity after a transport fire destroyed the majority of the independent team owner’s equipment for the No. 51 Toyota Tundra while en route to the Texas Motor Speedway last week. The team rallied and finished second in the event.

With the help of the NASCAR Community Ballew will be able to get the trucks to the tracks with Germain Racing lending a transporter to the team for the rest of the season.

“I have to thank everyone in the NASCAR family that has really pulled together to help us,” Ballew said. “As discouraging as this can become after a fire of this nature the rally of support reminds you why you continue to go forth.”

Busch in 2007 came within whiskers length of winning in all three premiere NASCAR Touring Series events on the 1-mile track in the Phoenix, Arizona after posting victory in both the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and NASCAR Nationwide Series events.

Busch has 16 starts in Phoenix posting one win in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, two in the NASCAR Nationwide Series and one win in four starts in the Craftsman Truck Series. Ballew has 11 starts on the 1-mile track, posting 1 win, and two-top-five finishes.
