Kyle Busch crashes in Cup practice

Kyle Busch has gone to a backup car and will start at the rear of the field Sunday at Pocono after crashing on pit road in practice Saturday.

Busch got loose off turn 3 and collected his sliding car. He then headed to pit road but lost the car entering the pits and it slammed against the inside pit wall near the pit entrance. Busch's car suffered heavy right front damage. Speed Channel reported that Busch radioed his crew and said that he "lost it.''

Busch was third quickest in that car in that practice session. That leaves him with the final practice session to make adjustments.

What this means is that Busch will start all three NASCAR races at the back of the field. He started at the rear in Friday's truck race since someone else qualified the truck for him there. He bounced back to finish second to Ron Hornaday Jr. Busch also will start at the rear in Saturday's Nationwide race at Nashville because someone else qualified the car. Now he'll start at the rear of the field for the Cup race.
