Kyle Busch and Bubba Wallace each need a win over the final eight regular-season races to make a return to the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs.
LEBANON, Tenn. — Just when it looks like Kyle Busch is going to catch a break in a season where he hasn't had his typical speed to consistently challenge for wins, he ends up in the infield medical center. 'We just have to stop the bleeding,' Busch said the day before Sunday's race at Nashville Superspeedway. 'I think I've been saying that for the last six months. It hasn't stopped. And the last weeks, it's been gushing pretty hard.
' One of the changes was that executive vice president of competition Andy Petree retired. Childress said Petree 'did a good job for us' and named Keith Rodden as the interim competition director. Petree won two Cup titles as a crew chief for Dale Earnhardt at RCR. 'Change sometimes lends itself to an open opportunity, hopefully for the better,' Busch said.
