Busch to race trucks at Kentucky:

The field for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Built Ford Tough 225 at Kentucky Speedway received an added dose of star power this week when it was announced Sprint Cup Series points leader Kyle Busch is planning to contest the 150-lap race on July 19. Busch, who notched his sixth Cup Series win of the season at Daytona last Saturday, will be racing in the trucks race at Kentucky for the first time. Busch ran in the Meijer 300 Nationwide Race at Kentucky Speedway in June and was racing second to eventual race-winner Joey Logano before crashing on Lap 165 and ending up in 30th.(Herald-Ledger)(7-10-2008)
