During Group A practice at Iowa Speedway for the NASCAR Cup Series, two-time NASCAR Cup champion Kyle Busch was looking strong in the No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. He was sitting second on the overall speed carts, but disaster struck with just under nine minutes left in the session.
Busch entered the weekend on the back of a 79-race winless streak, but Busch will have to come from the rear of the field on Sunday. Entering Turn 1, the rear of the car started to step out. As Busch tried to react, the car overcorrected and shot directly into the outside wall. The nose and right front sustained severe damage in the impact. He was on his 17th lap of practice at the time of the crash.
