NASCAR Sprint Cup Series star Kyle Busch has taken the next step in his recovery — quite literally.
On his Facebook account, Busch posted a video of him moving around with the aid of a walker, while also getting some encouragement from his and his wife Samantha’s pet dog.
Early last week, Busch 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 is no specific timetable for Busch, who is recovering at home, to get back behind the wheel.
Busch and his wife also took a “field trip” last week to Kyle Busch Motorsports, the three-truck team that Busch owns, which competes in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. The couple is also expecting their first child in May.
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.
See the video of Busch walking below.
