While on vacation, Busch appeared in photos with a brace around his left wrist. The 2x NASCAR Cup Series champion had sprained it in the closing laps of the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
While battling Denny Hamlin for position down into Turn 3, he spun out from under him and crashed into the outside wall. He blamed "these great Next Gen race cars" for the injury, curtly adding: "Snap the wheel and snap your wrist." The two-week break was lucky timing for Busch in a year where nothing has seemed to go his way. Busch has yet to win a race this season and currently sits outside the Cup playoffs.
