NASCAR Bristol 2016: Start time, TV schedule and how to watch online
Busch, the defending Sprint Cup Series champion, began this season with four straight top-four finishes but finally broke through with wins the last two weeks at Martinsville and Texas. He is a two-time winner of the Food City 500, last winning in Bristol in 2013.
Busch made news earlier this week when he said he would not race in the 2016 Indianapolis 500, despite some interest from sponsors, though he didn’t rule out a future crossover
“We have to work out all those details and it’s certainly not going to happen for this year, but maybe in some future years we’ll see what we can put together,” Busch said on Friday.
Busch won three straight races in July last year during his championship season, capturing checkered flags in Kentucky, New Hampshire and Indianapolis.
