Q&A: Kyle Busch.

Thursday, 2nd February 2006

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.

He's looking for forward to this year I think than he has ever, really, and just being able to communicate with his guys. For myself being able to go out there this year and being my second year, I think it's Kurt's fifth season, something like that, so he's got a little bit more over me. Hopefully we can outdo him every time we come to Vegas.

THE MODERATOR:
His sixth year, can you believe he's been around that long? '01 was his rookie year.

KYLE BUSCH:
You're right, that's too many.

Q.
What did you guys learn from start to finish, what was the greatest improvement that your team made last year?

KYLE BUSCH:
The biggest thing that we worked on last year was our rear package, things that we were doing in the back of the car. We had a lot of success there through. We really started working on it about mid April to the end of April. And then at Charlotte we really showed that all Hendrick cars were running up front with it and during the rest of the season, we were kind of running it until Dover and then NASCAR made the rule change. As far as myself being able to learn the different tracks and things like that, of course that's a big thing that you have to do is be able to learn what techniques are going to be needed at different facilities. But also, the patience throughout the longer races and things like that, being able to understand that if you have a 20th place car, you just need to finish 20th, run 20th with it.
