JGR driver gets walking boots as recovery continues
Play: NASCAR Fantasy Live
Kyle Busch continues to make progress in his recovery, and his wife, Samantha Busch, marked the latest update on her Twitter account.
Busch has traded in his soft casts for walking boots. The 29-year-old driver is recovering from a compound fracture of the right lower leg and left mid-foot fracture, injuries that were suffered in a wreck in the latter laps of the season-opening NASCAR XFINITY Series race at Daytona International Speedway. There was no specific timetable for Busch, who is recovering from home, to get back behind the wheel.
Last week, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series was in Busch's hometown of Las Vegas and the winner of 29 Sprint Cup races missed the event for the first time in his premier series career, which began in 2004.
David Ragan is currently subbing in the No. 18 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing in the Sprint Cup Series. Denny Hamlin, Erik Jones and Boris Said will fill in for Busch in the No. 54 Toyota for JGR in the NASCAR XFINITY Series.
Busch has thanked his fans on Twitter numerous times in the past week for all their support through this time.
