Question:

Does Anyone Have 2001 Craftsman Truck Results For Kyle Busch?

by | earlier

I'm working on a project in Wikipedia, and multiple sites say Kyle Busch started 6 races in his rookie season in 2001. I went to Nascar.com and it says he only started 5 races. I don't know the exact for sure, but other sites say 6 not 5. I tried looking for results on FoxSports.com but they only have Craftsman Truck results from 2003-present. The same with Yahoo Sports. If anyone has a list of races he ran that season or knows of a site that has them. Please and Thank You

he ran six races:

IRP (9th), Cicero (17th), Richmond (22nd), South Boston (33rd), Fort Worth (25th), and Las Vegas (9th) - all in the #99 Eldon-sponsored truck for Jack Roush.

he also qualified at fontana, but was not allowed to race there that year (see below):

"At 16, Busch competed in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for Roush Racing as a replacement after the team's two drivers were released midway in the 2001 season, and earned two top-10 finishes in six starts what was scheduled to be a full-season campaign for 2002. (In 2000, NASCAR rules changed to permit a driver to make up to seven starts -- up from five -- in a season before becoming a full-time driver for rookie status.)

Busch was the fastest in practice for a 2001 Craftsman Truck Series race at California Speedway in Fontana, CA, when he was ejected from the track by CART officials because the American Racing Wheels 200 was part of a CART weekend featuring the Marlboro 500 CART FedEx Championship Series event. Marlboro threw Busch out of the garage because of an interpretation of the Master Settlement Agreement of 1998, prohibiting persons under 18 years of age in participating in events sponsored by tobacco companies."
