SRX: Kyle Busch wins crashfest at Pulaski

In what was the most crash-filled race in the three-year history of SRX, Kyle Busch left Pulaski County Motorsports Park the winner.

“Tracy took out three or four of us, that’s all,” Ken Schrader told Sportsnaut after the race. “Normal. Just a regular day.”

This was after he told ESPN pit road reporter Matt Yocum that he was done racing with Paul Tracy in SRX moving forward.

Tracy cleared himself onto Indianapolis 500 winner Josef Newgarden on the frontstretch with 12 laps remaining, the resulting pile-up collecting Schrader and Truck Series driver Hailie Deegan, saddling the FURY Race Cars crew that services the series with a lot of work before next week at Berlin Raceway.

For his part, Tracy was adamant that he was clear.

“Well, it was the end of the race, 10 laps to go or so,” Tracy told Sportsnaut after the incident. “Everyone was running hard. Newgarden and I were racing. He wasn’t willing to give up the position on the outside. I had half a car length in front of him and just got hooked and that was it. “

Busch adding a SRX victory to a career that has seen two Cup Series championships, an Xfinity Series championship, wins in all three NASCAR tours and numerous Super Late Model achievements.

It’s cool, a lot of fun,” Busch said. “It was nice to come out here and just have a nice race with the SRX guys, a lot of different personalities and backgrounds, and to get a win against them here.”
