Kurt Busch is in the show.
Kurt Busch Makes Field At NHRA Gatornationals, Qualifies 12th
↵
Busch, attempting to make his NHRA drag racing debut in the Pro Stock division, qualified 12th for Sunday’s Gatornationals in Gainesville, Fla.
↵Busch struggled in the first two qualifying sessions on Friday, with severe tire shake and a rookie mistake leaving him on the outside of the 16-car field.

But he mounted what the NHRA described as “a nice clean pass” in Round No. 3 this morning, then backed it up with another solid run in Round No. 4 (although a bit slower).
↵Busch’s official top speed of the four qualifying rounds was 211.46 mph. Rodger Brogdon topped the sessions with a pass at 213.57 mph.
↵Because he’s the No. 12 qualifier, Busch will face the No. 5 seed in the first elimination round on Sunday. That happens to be Erica Enders, who is currently fifth in the Pro Stock point standings.
↵“Yah baby!!!” Busch tweeted after the third qualifying round. “I will take that.”
