Kyle Busch after wreck with Gallagher: 'Now I know how John Wes Townley feels'
Kyle Busch frequently dominates Camping World Truck Series races he enters as a driver.
But not Thursday night in the Buckle Up In Your Truck 225 at Kentucky Speedway, where Busch crashed out on Lap 57 and failed to lead a lap for the first time in his last 29 series starts.
Busch's No. 18 Toyota slammed hard into the outside wall after getting clipped by the No. 23 truck driven by Spencer Gallagher -- the same driver who was fined and put on probation for wrecking and getting into a fight with fellow NCWTS driver John Wes Townley in the previous Truck Series race at Gateway Motorsports Park.
Busch was running 13th at the time, having worked his way up after dropping back in the field because of an early pit-road penalty for his team having too many crew members over the wall.
"It was was self-inflicted, I guess. I got caught back in traffic," Busch told FOX Sports after being checked out and released from the infield care center. "I thought I left enough room on the inside. I know who I wrecked with, so that doesn't surprise me. Now I know how John Wes Townley feels.
"It's just a shame. It was a really good piece, you know. And it's destroyed."
