Prayers Pouring In For Kyle Busch After 'Scary' Practice Crash originally appeared on The Spun.
The bad luck just keeps pouring on for NASCAR star Kyle Busch as a crash in practice left his car a mess and had fans scrambling to make sure he was okay.
During practice in Iowa today, Busch was doing a practice lap and things seemed to be going fine until his car swerved coming off a turn. Losing control, Busch's Chevrolet smashed nearly head-on with a wall before bouncing off. Flames could be seen emerging from the inside of the car as it spun into a stop.

Concern quickly mounted for Busch as not everyone could see whether he was able to get out of the car safely.
"Yeah almost head on, that was insane what a crash. Nice to know they have safer barriers unlike Indy last week. Glad he’s ok," one user replied.
"I'm so glad he's ok," wrote another.
"That hit was scary, what broke?" a third wondered.
Busch appeared to be fine but his car was an absolute mess once it made it back into the garage:

Busch was released from medical treatment and spoke to reporters afterwards. He remarked that his No. 8 car had been struggling with "rear chatter" leading up to the crash. He lamented going into the fateful turn with "too much trust" and was punished with right rear chattering and overcorrecting, leading to the impact with the wall.
More bad luck for Busch
The story of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series and really the past two seasons for Busch have been one bit of bad luck after another. He has now gone two calendar years without winning a race and has not led a single lap over the last 10 races – the longest such streak of his storied racing career.
Busch is still in the hunt for a spot in the NASCAR Cup playoffs. But he's on a razor-thin edge and would be near the back of the pack in the points-only qualification.
Last year he missed the playoffs entirely, so he'll need a dazzling finish if he wants to get in at all.
In the meantime, we're just glad that he's okay.
