Kyle Busch Crashes in Daytona Duel Race
Backup Car Ready for Daytona 500
NASCAR Star Eyes First Victory in Prestigious Event
Kyle Busch, the reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion, is hoping to finally capture the Daytona 500 this weekend after a thrilling but unfortunate crash in the Duel race on Thursday night.
The spectacular wreck, which occurred while Busch was leading the race, saw his primary car heavily damaged. However, Busch's team has confirmed that his backup car is ready to go for the Daytona 500 on Sunday.
"It's a bummer to lose the car," Busch said after the crash. "But I'm thankful we have a backup car that we can race on Sunday. We're going to go out there and try to win this thing."
Busch has been chasing the Daytona 500 victory since he made his debut in the race in 2005. He has come close on several occasions, including a second-place finish in 2019, but the victory has always eluded him.
This year, Busch is determined to break through and finally claim the iconic trophy. He will start the Daytona 500 from the pole after winning the qualifying race on Wednesday night.
The Daytona 500 is one of the most prestigious races in NASCAR, and it is considered the unofficial start of the season. Busch knows that a victory on Sunday would be a huge boost for his championship hopes in 2023.
