Kurt Busch Starts Ninth At Martinsville
5 years agoChip Ganassi Racing's Kurt Busch will start ninth in Wednesday's Blue Emu 500 at Martinsville Speedway. The 2004 Cup Series champion has won twice at Martinsville, but it's also been one of his worst tracks, with Busch collecting just seven top-10 finishes in 39 starts here. Two of those have come in the last two years, though, as Busch seems to have turned a corner at the track, not finishing worse than 12th in the last four races here. There's some intriguing upside with Busch on Wednesday night, though it's hard to ignore how much he's struggled here in the past, including a stretch from 2006 to 2013 where he didn't record a single top 10 here.
