There's no NA$CAR race this weekend, but Kurt Busch is going to enter his vintage 6.1, stroked, Hemi powered, Dodge Challenger at The Gator Nationals.
He'll be running in the Super Gas cla**.
Watch this: Some idiot will probably cross the center foul line and knock him into the retaining wall.......

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -NASCAR driver Kurt Busch has lost his drag-racing debut.
Busch was sent home Sunday in the opening round of eliminations at the NHRA Gatornationals. Busch raced in the Super Gas division of the Sportsman cla**.
His 1970 Dodge Challenger sputtered shortly after takeoff and covered the 1,000-foot drag strip in 10.10 seconds, a bumper behind Wes Neely's 1967 Chevrolet Camaro. Busch raced in the 9.90-second division, meaning he was a bit off the projected pace.

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champ Busch to compete at Gatornationals Saturday, March 06, 2010 Kurt Busch, the 2004 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion, will return to his drag racing roots during the 41st running of the Tire Kingdom NHRA Gatornationals March 11-14 at historic Gainesville Raceway. The driver of the No. 2 Miller Lite Dodge for Penske Racing is set to get behind the wheel of his rebuilt '70 Dodge Challenger next weekend to compete against a field of between 70 and 90 veteran Super Gas racers who no doubt will be champing at the bit to line up against one of the biggest names in motorsports. Busch will make a minimum of three time-trial pa**es Thursday, March 11, and will return Friday morning to begin eliminations. “Gainesville is one of the marquee events on the NHRA calendar, and it’s a privilege to compete against the best Sportsman racers out there,” Busch said. Busch bought the Dodge Challenger in 2008 and began the process of getting it into race shape in March 2009. The car is powered by a stroked 6.1-liter Hemi, weighs 3,000 pounds, and puts out 1,167 horsepower. Though Busch feels at home behind the wheel of his Sprint Cup car, he is aware that this will be a new and exciting environment for him. “Sportsman racing is no different than any other type of racing; you need seat time. I spent over 30 hours at Roy Hill’s drag racing school and have had two tests in my own Challenger, but that’s nowhere compared to the seat time many of these guys have in their own cars. We are going to go out there and do our best competing against these talented Sportsman racers,” Busch said. Busch’s love affair with drag racing began in the early 1990s when he met a pair of Las Vegas-based NHRA racers, George Marnell, a Pro Stock racer, and Dave Bush, a Super Comp competitor. When Busch began driving in the Sprint Cup Series for Penske Racing, he also got to know NHRA Top Fuel world champion Larry Dixon as both were sponsored by Miller Lite. He got the idea to compete at an NHRA event after taking part in the opening night of zMax Dragway in Charlotte in September 2008, and one of the rare off-weekends on the NASCAR schedule coincided with next weekend’s 41st running of the prestigious Tire Kingdom NHRA Gatornationals.
