Kyle Busch looks to get back on track

Kyle Busch hopes to mark his three-year anniversary with Hendrick Motorsports the same way he opened his career – with a win.

Busch made his Hendrick debut three years ago this weekend in an ARCA race at Nashville Superspeedway. Only 17 years old at the time, he set the tone by shattering the track’s qualifying record, pacing every practice session, then leading 84 of the 113 laps en route to the win.

Now he heads back to Nashville, where he’ll drive in the Busch Series race today, with a pretty impressive resume. He’s scored wins in four different series – two Nextel Cup victories, seven in the Busch Series, three in trucks and three in ARCA.

“I don’t think you’ll ever see someone so young do what Kyle has managed to do,” car owner Rick Hendrick said. “Kyle has always been fast and aggressive. He’s blown me away with his absolute car control.”

He recently had some trouble away from the track. Busch was ticketed for reckless driving in a Richmond suburb Wednesday night and has to appear in court next month.

Edwards OK with moves

Carl Edwards sees Jack Roush’s decision to shift crew chief Bob Osborne to Jamie McMurray’s car as a move to spark McMurray’s season, not his own.

Thursday, Roush Racing announced that Osborne would assume crew chief duties for McMurray’s Nextel Cup team, while Edwards’ team will be directed by Roush Racing’s lead engineer, Wally Brown.

Edwards said he was told by Roush that Osborne would be back if the switch did not work. Another meeting was scheduled in 90 days to “discuss how it’s going.”

“It has to do with getting Jamie going,” Edwards said while practicing at Nashville for today’s Busch race.
