Kyle Busch found mid-race trouble in Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series Autotrader 400, crashing out at EchoPark Speedway.
Busch started 14th in the 38-car field for the Autotrader 400, but his No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet turned sideways after he veered in front of Noah Gragson’s No. 4 Ford in the 125th of a scheduled 260 laps. Busch’s car, which was running 13th at the time, skidded and made heavy nose-first contact with the inside retaining wall on the backstretch before sliding to a halt.

Busch exited the car under his own power, and he was evaluated and released at the track’s infield care center.
Busch entered Sunday’s race 14th in the Cup Series standings after a 15th-place finish in the season-opening Daytona 500. It was a split weekend for Busch, who won Saturday’s race for the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
