Kyle BuschNASCAR Sprint Cup Series points leader Kyle Busch will start Sunday’s Pocono 500 at the back of the field after going to a backup Toyota following a wreck near the end of Saturday’s first practice at Pocono Raceway.

As Busch came off of Turn 3 – which features a recently repaved middle patch that has boosted speeds entering the 3,740-foot frontstretch – his No. 18 Camry spun onto pit road before smacking the inside retaining wall. He pulled his car into the hauler area and the Joe Gibbs Racing team immediately began preparing the backup car for the final practice.

Before the wreck Busch was third fastest of the session, clocking 165.496 mph on a clear, warm morning.

Busch, who qualified 10th on Friday, must move to the rear on Sunday as he seeks his fifth victory this season and fourth in his past six starts. He leads Jeff Burton by 142 points in the standings.

    Not a chance. Even the immortals get knocked down, but they bounce right back up. Expect to see Wild Thing in the top 20 within the first 15 laps.

    NO, it’s not because he is doing better than Jr, he’s not doing better in my opinion, it’s his dangerous driving style, he only cares about himself, therefore he will eventually hurt someone or himself, he needs to go with the flow with all the new rules in place, so we don’t have another Dale Sr event of 2001, in other words he needs to quit being a win hog !!!

    UMMM….that is not my reason, he drives dangerous and doesn’t care who he wrecks. I’ll admit he is a good driver but he doesn’t care about who he takes out. I also can’t stand his attitude plus he whines when someone does something back to him.

    You guys are pathetic. Hoping a driver wrecks is lower than low. I hate some drivers too, but I don’t go on saying “I hope that idiot crashes today”. Get over him already.

    It wouldn’t bother me to the least cause Jr isn’t nowhere near like the Schrub, trying to be a hotshot anyway, people at my work laugh all the time when Jr wrecks, that’s when he doe’s, at least Jr don’t purposely wreck people off the track for a win like the Schrub doe’s, paybacks are hell to the Schrub………
