Busch back in the #15:

After a disappointing run last week in the Truck Series’ event at Richmond, Kyle Busch aims to recapture the momentum he carries while piloting the #15 Ditech.com Chevy for Billy Ballew Motorsports. This weekend, Busch will take to the New Hampshire International Speedway for the running of the Sylvania 200 on Saturday afternoon. Busch has two previous starts at NHIS, once earlier this year in the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series and n last year’s Busch Series race, but will be making his first start in a Truck Series event. Busch had an impressive run in his debut in the Cup Series race at NHIS back in July, qualifying seventh and finishing in fourth position. The Billy Ballew Motorsports team qualified in the eighth position in this race last year, and was the most dominant truck until running out of gas with less than 10 laps to go, placing the #15 Chevy in 20th position in the final rundown. Ditech.com also returns as the primary sponsor on the #15 Chevy. Originally planned as a two-race deal with Busch at Bristol and Richmond, Ditech.com’s support has increased to include this weekend’s event at New Hampshire International Speedway. Last week’s misfortune cost the team three spots in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Owners’ Points standings. Billy Ballew Motorsports and the #15 team sit in ninth position, after being as high as fourth earlier this year.(BBM)(9-15-2005)
