This week in NASCAR, Kyle Busch Motorsports introduced its newest driver — Kurt Busch. Brothers Kurt and Kyle will be sharing the duty of driving the #54 car, sponsored by Monster Energy, on the Nationwide Series. Kyle has been by far the more active of the two on the Nationwide Series with more wins than Kurt has starts. If nothing else, the pairing of the two Busch brothers on the same team should provide some “special” moments for ESPN to talk about.
Also this week, David Ragan (pictured) signed with Front Row Motorsports to drive the #34 car on the Sprint Cup circuit. David Gilliland, who drove the #34 last year, will stay with Front Row and move to the #38. Ragan scored the first victory of his six-year career in the Sprint Cup last season and should significantly improve Front Row’s chances in 2012.
It was a slow week in NASCAR’s offseason, but hope is on the horizon. We’re now less than a month away from the Shootout on February 18th. Soon, my friends, soon the waiting will be over.
