NASCAR All-Star Race 2015: Kyle Busch returns to action

The 2015 NASCAR All-Star Race is the perfect opportunity for Kyle Busch’s return to the track.

“I think it’s a great race to come back to,” Busch told reporters on Tuesday. “It’s shorter. It’s a non‑points event. There’s mandatory cautions after every 25 laps and what not, so it gives you an opportunity to take a breather, take a rest, whatever it may be.”

Busch hasn’t raced since suffering a compound fracture in his right leg and a broken left foot in a crash at the Daytona 500 in February. Despite the injuries, Busch isn’t worried about getting back into a car.

“If I had to say what would concern me the most, it would only be a two on a 1-to-10 [scale], is the amount of walking I would have to do between the hauler to the car or pit road, whatever, for qualifying,” Busch said. “I’m not so sure that other drivers haven’t raced in worse pain than I have over the years.”

The event, which Jamie McMurray won last year, begins at 9 p.m. ET on Saturday and will be televised on FOX Sports 1.
