DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Kyle Busch has become a safety advocate in the wake of his February crash at Daytona International Speedway.
After his injuries sparked a movement toward more SAFER barriers around NASCAR, International Speedway Corp. announced Saturday it will install 54,000 feet of the barrier at its tracks through the end of next season.
But now Busch has set his sights on another target: The infield grass.
"In reality, there's no sense in grass," Busch said Saturday. "There's absolutely no reason to have grass at any of these facilities. I think that needs to be one of the next biggest pushes we all have.
