Kyle Busch was transported to an area hospital following a savage crash in Saturday’s race at Daytona.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Kyle Busch appeared to be injured in a multi-car crash during the final laps of the Xfinity Series race Saturday at Daytona International Speedway.
Track workers helped Busch removed himself from his battered No. 54 car, he was then shown alert on a stretcher with an air cast wrapped around his right leg. Busch was transported to Halifax Medical Center for further evaluation.
The accident occurred out of the frontstretch tri-oval when Erik Jones broke loose and spun in front of the field. Busch had been right behind Jones, a Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, when his car skidded across the infield grass and slammed into the wall nearly head-on. The wall was not covered by a protective barrier.
Including Jones and Busch, a total of eight cars were damaged. With the exception of Busch, all drivers involved escaped injury.
Busch is scheduled to start fourth in Sunday's Daytona 500.
Busch's wife, Samantha, was shown crying on television. She is expecting the couple's first child in May.
Second-year driver Ryan Reed won the Alert Today Florida 300. The win was the first of Reed's career and the first Daytona Xfinity victory for Jack Roush, Reed's car owner.
