Upon closer review, it appears the left-rear tire blew out, causing Busch’s No. 18 to spin and then slam against the wall.

“Kyle Busch went for a spin about six minutes into the session and wadded up his No. 18 Toyota’s left-rear. Looked like he had a tire going down. Could be a backup car. His day’s done early for sure,” said Aaron Bearden of Motorsports Beat.

“Here’s the replay of Rowdy’s crash. Busch said that’s ‘a backup car for sure’ and said there’s ‘nothing you can do’ when tires don’t hold air. He isn’t sure he did anything to cause that one,” Bearden added.

“Oh… oh no. Goodyear has a problem,” a fan tweeted.
This isn’t a good start to the weekend for Kyle Busch. He’ll be in the backup car on Sunday.
