Credit goes to FOXSports.com Kyle Busch will miss Sunday's Daytona 500 following a hard crash in the closing laps of Saturday's Alert Today Florida 300 at Daytona International Speedway. Busch was caught up in a 10-car crash near the end of the frontstretch on Lap 112 of the 120-lap event, his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota careening head-on into a section of infield wall that had no SAFER barrier. After the crash, Busch was transported directly to Halifax Health Medical Center of Daytona Beach. Medical updates are pending. He is being evaluated for injuries to his right leg. Joe Gibbs Racing has not named Busch's replacement or indicated how long he will be out.
Update: Matt Crafton will drive the 18 for kyle busch tomorrow. An interim driver has not been determined for the following race March 1 at Atlanta or for any future races
He got jacked up. On the replay he looked totally out of it. Guess he was lucky cause as hard as that hit was it could have been much worse.
Update from Jayski.com Joe Gibbs Racing announced early Tuesday evening that two-time Sprint Cup Series race winner David Ragan will drive the No. 18 M&M Toyota for at least the next several weeks.
