Regan Smith to continue driving for suspended Kurt Busch this weekend.
As Kurt Busch continues to serve a suspension, Regan Smith will drive the Stewart-Haas Racing No. 41 car at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
This will mark the second consecutive week SHR has tabbed Smith to fill-in for Busch, who was indefinitely suspended by NASCAR two days before the Daytona 500. Smith finished 16th in the Great American Race.
SHR did not name a driver beyond Atlanta. The No. 41 is sponsored by SHR co-owner Gene Haas, who is not noncommittal about fielding the car past this weekend.
Smith is a full-time driver for JR Motorsports in the Xfinity Series and the 2008 Sprint Cup rookie of the year. He could drive the No. 41 without conflict until mid-May.He has one victory in 173 premier division starts.
Busch was suspended following a Delaware Family Court commissioner determined evidence showed he physically assaulted ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll during an incident inside his motor home Sept. 26 at Dover International Speedway. Busch twice appealed the suspension, failing both times.
