NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Kyle Busch will race in the CRA Super Series Portion on the SpeedFest race weekend on Jan. 23-25 at the Lanier National Speedway in Braselton. Busch, who won eight times on the Sprint Cup Series last year, will be racing with his new crew chief, Bond Suss. Busch ran in the SpeedFest last year at the USA International Speedway in Lakeland, Fla. This year he looks forward to the challenge of racing at Lanier National Speedway.

"It’ll be my first race of the year, and I’m looking forward to it," said Busch.

"It’s all about having fun, enjoying racing and giving back to local short track racing. I want to get people to come out and see how good of a show it really is. It’s a fun race to watch. The more I can do to give back to the type of racing that helped me is great; hopefully we can make events like this live for a long time."
