Kyle Busch Miffed at ‘NASCAR Procedures’ That Retired Him From Daytona 500
There was no magical storybook Daytona 500 win for Kyle Busch in his 20th attempt to win The Great American Race. Instead, Busch left Daytona Beach seething about more confusion surrounding NASCAR’s damaged vehicle policy, which was relaxed in the offseason.
“[NASCAR] towed us into a work area, where our guys reviewed the car and didn’t see anything massively wrong, all the wheels were pointed in the right direction, we put four new tires on it to go back out to basically see what the next process was going to be for us, but then was told if you need to work on it and repair it that you need to go back to [the work area], but if you go back to that place they park you.”
After bolting on four tires, going on track to see if there was anything wrong with his car, and returning to the work area to address the issues with his car, Busch was parked for the remainder of the race as NASCAR considered the initial bolting on new tires as working on the car.
