Kyle Busch tore up the
streets of downtown Rochester, NY, today, and local officials could not have
cared less.
Busch piloted his Joe Gibbs
Racing M&Ms Toyota – cutting a series of smoky donuts at a significantly elevated
rate of speed -- to promote NASCAR’s return to Watkins Glen International for
the Cheez-It 355 at The Glen and Zippo 200 on August 8-11.
“It’s not every day you get
to drive a stock car on public streets,” said Busch afterward. “The only time we
ever get to do it is during Champions’ Week, and you are with other drivers. It
was cool to do it on my own. I had a lot of fun out there and I hope the fans
did too.”
Busch did donuts and burnt
rubber from Fitzhugh Avenue to South Avenue Thursday, with fans along East
Broad Street cheering him on.
“We cannot thank the City of
Rochester enough for assisting us in putting this event on for Watkins Glen
International and NASCAR fans,” said track president Michael Printup. “Kyle
Busch put on a tremendous show and we are counting down the days until he
returns for the Cheez-It 355 at The Glen.”
Fans can join Busch and the
rest of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stars for the Cheez-It 355 at The Glen by
