Kurt Busch turned his fastest of 83 IndyCar Series laps at 218.210 mph with Andretti Autosport today, but indicates he won’t try the Memorial Day The Indianapolis 500 / Coca-Cola 600 double this season:
“A driver can race here at Indianapolis and give a full 500 miles. That needs to be the end of his day. To run 600 miles after that, you’ve got to pace yourself. I wouldn’t be able to do it this year just with stamina; just with not giving my all for my Furniture Row Racing team in Charlotte. If I’m going to do something, I want to do it at the best level I can, so I need more time.”

RYAN NEWMAN, NO. 39 HAAS AUTOMATION CHEVROLET SS – FINISHED 32ND AFTER BEING INVOLVED IN MULTI-LAP ACCIDENT ON LAP 183
ON THE ACCIDENT: “I am doing this interview to let everybody know I’m alright. They can build safer race cars, they can build safer walls. But they can’t get their heads out of their asses far enough to keep them on the race track, and that’s pretty disappointing. I wanted to make sure I get that point across. Y’all can figure out who ‘they’ is. That’s no way to end a race. Our car was much better than that. That’s just poor judgment in restarting the race, poor judgment … I mean; you got what you wanted, but poor judgment and running in the dark and running in the rain. That’s it, thank you.”
