When Busch tried to bring his Toyota to pit road, the two-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion looked as though he was unable to turn into the garage, with the damage to the suspension of his car.

Upon that realization, Busch got out of his M&M’s-sponsored entry and began walking into the garage, leaving his car abandoned at the garage entry on pit road.
