Busch considered rookie for NCTS race:

Although Kyle Busch has driven in nine previous races at the Talladega Superspeedway, he will be considered a rookie this weekend when he takes the wheel of the #51 Billy Ballew Motorsports Flanders Beef Patties Chevy Craftsman Truck Saturday, October 6, 2007. Busch has five Nextel Cup Series and four Busch Series starts including two top-five and two top-10 finishes at the 2.66-mile tri-oval course. Any driver that has not competed in the series is considered a rookie at that particular track so Busch will have the rookie stripe on the Flanders Beef Patties NASCAR Craftsman Truck in Saturday’s Mountain Dew 250. Georgia based Flanders Beef Patties will serve as the primary sponsor of the #51 Billy Ballew Motorsports Chevrolet Silverado with RedTop Auto Auction, another Georgia company as the associate sponsor.(Billy Ballew Motorsports PR)(10-2-2007)
