RICHMOND, Va. — 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.”
Busch is set to start 12th in Sunday’s Cook Out 400 (6 p.m. ET, USA, NBC Sports App, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
