CONCORD, N.C. (AP) – Kyle Busch finished sixth Saturday night in the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race in his first event since breaking his right leg and left foot in a crash nearly three months ago.
Busch was never in contention during the final 10-lap segment that ended with Busch’s Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, Denny Hamlin, taking the $1 million top prize. Busch never led a lap, but the run at Charlotte Motor Speedway was a positive step in his return from a scary accident.
Busch said he was comfortable in his No. 18 Toyota and it served as a good tuneup for the Coca-Cola 600 next week.
Busch was injured Feb. 21 when he crashed into a concrete wall during an Xfinity Series race at Daytona. He missed the Daytona 500 the day after and the next 10 races.
