Kyle Busch said he sprained his left wrist in a late-race crash during the NASCAR Cup Series’ most recent event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but that he will not need a relief driver on standby for Sunday’s race at Richmond Raceway.
“Grip it and rip it,” Busch said.
Busch arrived for post-qualifying interviews Saturday with a bandage wrap on his left wrist, saying that the steering wheel snapped around when his No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet crashed in the July 21 Brickyard 400.
“Without two weeks off, I would not have been able to race,” Busch said, saying that nothing was broken. “I’m good. I’m pretty good now.”
