Kyle Busch was all smiles prior to Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway. He had a fast car in practice, and was starting from the eighth position. However, things came undone for the two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion on Lap 15.
While attempting to get around Ryan Blaney for a position inside the top-10, Busch’s car lost traction, and the right side of Busch’s No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet slapped into the left side of Blaney’s No. 12 Ford Mustang.
Busch would then spin his car backwards, and would slam into the Turn 2 wall with the left rear and driver’s side of his car.

While the team attempted to fix the damage on Busch’s car, he would be forced to the garage, which signaled the end of his race. Busch will be credited with a last-place finish at Michigan.
