Kyle Busch blew an engine on the fourth lap of the first practice session and was forced to come off the track and wait for his crew to make the swap.The crew immediately went to work making the changeover. Knowing their odds were long on getting Busch back out on the track in the first practice session, crew chief Steve Addington and crew just wanted to ensure there were no unexpected problems that might appear later.And apparently swapping engines is a pretty secretive deal as Busch's crew members did their best to keep spectators and the media from snapping photos of the "Top Secret" engine package.
Sam Hornish Jr. also had trouble in practice as he got into the wall. The incident forced his crew chief Travis Geisler to take a hard look at the No. 77 Mobil 1 Dodge. Good news for Hornish as the damage was just superficial and not severe enough to force him to a backup car.
A little Bondo and some fresh paint and the car should be fine. Hornish went back out on the track to shake the car down a little after the incident and finished practice in 25th spot.
