Kurt Busch talks about favorite memory from the NASCAR GEICO 500

2004 NASCAR Cup Series champion Kurt Busch, who had a disappointing finish in last week’s race, talked about his favorite memories of the event. Busch said:

“All right, so the Geico 500, the spring race Talladega. I've lost it every which way possible with leading, running out of gas. getting caught up in a wreck, making a move on the last lap to pass the leader and then being frozen. Just haven't quite capped off a win there. But I think I've got just as many starts. I've got half in top ten finishes, so it's decent track for me. Just haven't broke through to win."

All the drivers will compete for over 188 laps on Sunday and will be eyeing a win. They will also try to take the lead in the points table when the green flag drops at 3 p.m. EST.
