3 years agoKurt Busch starts from the inside of Row 7 on Sunday but cannot be counted out of the Food City Dirt Race. The 23XI Racing car is faster than what Busch had last year. He finished 16th in what can be best described as a sub-standard drive. It may come down to how many longer runs occur with these Next-Gen cars on the dirt track. If there are fewer, the No. 45 may find his way into the top-ten. If there are more, then a favorable result seems unlikely as the elder Busch did not lose as much time (three tenths) at 20 laps but did not race more because the car started slowing up too much. Either way, Busch's knowledge will be his biggest asset on Sunday.--Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
