(AP) - Kyle Busch might be the busiest driver at Daytona. He’s planning to run all three of the major races next weekend: the Craftsman Truck series race, the Nationwide race and the Daytona 500.
It’s the first time Busch has attempted the three-feat.
Why?
“Honestly, I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t have any idea. I’m going to tell myself that I’m pretty stupid after a while here. ... I had plenty of people try to talk me out of it. But it’s hard to do when you’re young and as stubborn as I am and just want to race.”
Between all the practice sessions, qualifying attempts, driver’s meetings, team meetings, media interviews, signing autographs and handling sponsorship obligations, there’s little time left for anything else.
“I just love racing,” said Busch, a 22-year-old with 21 combined wins in the three series. “That’s what it’s all about. For me to be as young as I am, I feel like it’s my best opportunity to perform at my best and do all the things I want to do. That’s pretty much what it’s about.”
