Busch still

wheelman

20 years

into rocky

career

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —
Kurt Busch has been called
many things during his tu-
multuous 20 seasons at
NASCAR's top level. He is
ornery, easily unhinged
and has lost control of his
temper enough times that
it nearly derailed his ca-
reer. But the most impor-
tant descriptor for Busch is
one often overlooked. He
is a wheelman, one of the
very best in NASCAR, and
in the twilight of his career
Busch has a chance to
make that his lasting mark.
Busch beat his brother
head-to-head for the first
time at the Cup level in a
dramatic, two-lap over-
time shootout at Kentucky Perfect for 8 innings, Rays
Speedway for Busch's first
victory with new team
Chip Ganassi Racing. It settle for 4-1 win over Orioles
was the third time Kurt and
Kyle Busch have finished
1-2 in a Cup race, but the Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Ryan Yarbrough throws to a Baltimore Orioles batter during the third inning of a baseball game,
first time Kurt got the best Sunday, July 14, 2019, in Baltimore.
