News and Notes
Jul 16
This week: The week off came at a good time for Busch and his team. "We have done a lot of testing recently, and I think everyone on the team is looking forward to a long weekend away from the track," he said. "We are determined to get better, and that is why we have tested so much. But it will be good to just get away for a few days."
Last week: Busch's hopes of a third consecutive top-10 finish were wiped out in the final 100 miles when he dropped a cylinder. As a result, he was glad to finish 28th, still on the lead lap. "We were running pretty good (before the engine problems)," crew chief Pat Tryson said. "That's been the story of our season. Engines have parts in them, and unfortunately, parts break."
Etc.: Busch knows the odds are against him making the Chase, as he stands in 18th place, 245 points out of the top 12 with only seven races left. "What makes it so tough is that we have to pass a lot of guys as well as make up a lot of points," he said. "But if we put together a run of top-10s and top-fives, who knows."
