“This is my second week being here at the track, and there isn’t a question now where my role is,” Busch said “It’s everywhere within the team. It’s like I’m doing everything the same, except I’m putting on a radio instead of a helmet.”

Busch, the 2004 Cup Series champion, hasn't gotten behind the wheel of a race vehicle since he collided with the wall in his Pocono Raceway car on July 23 and had a head injury.

” Has to do with core strength. It’s fatiguing. I notice things that bring me up and then break me down. I have to do a day on and a day off now.”

“In all honesty, I took December off. It was an emotional time, and that’s part of this process, as well.”
