Heading into his sophomore Nextel Cup season, Kyle Busch sat down to discuss the start of his two-day test in Las Vegas and what it was like being back in his home town.
THE MODERATOR:
We'll bring up Kyle Busch, driver of the Kellogg Chevrolet. First off, this is your first day here for the test so far just talk about how your car is and how the test has gone so far.
KYLE BUSCH:
It's gone well, not quite gone to expectations but we'll get there hopefully before the day is out and maybe even we'll have to work in tomorrow. But being as though it's a two-day test, we have plenty of time to work on things. There's a lot of guys that were here yesterday that have a little bit of a head start for us, so that may be why we're further down on the speed charts.
All in all the guys have been gelling really well. We have one, maybe two new guys on the team, but all in all it's all the same guys from last year and everybody is working well together. We had a great
Daytona test. We had a great test just before Christmas, we went to Kentucky Speedway and had a really good shakedown there of one of the cars we brought here, and everything is going so far so well, but we're trying to find a little more speed out of it as we can.
THE MODERATOR:
This race last year you finished second, your breakout race, how important was this race to have the momentum that you kind of built throughout the season?
KYLE BUSCH:
Coming to Vegas, hometown, of course it's always special, you always want to do well. And go out there, if you can, win; and if not, do the best you can. Obviously you also want to do it every other place but especially here in Vegas. It was a good time for us, me finishing second, Kurt was third and my teammate, Jimmie, ended up winning the race. It was definitely a good weekend for us.
