Kyle Busch almost had to go to a backup helmet this weekend. His helmet was stolen from the garage Friday night, but track security officers caught the culprit.
“Somebody snuck in the garage with the cleanup crew and stole it,” Busch said. “Somebody saw it happen, I guess, and they told security guards outside. They were checking everybody that was leaving and they found him and brought the helmet back.”
Did the helmet have any special significance to Busch?
“It didn’t matter,” he said. “It’s not a lucky helmet.”
But Busch now has two victories with that helmet, including Atlanta.
“On second thought, it might be a lucky helmet,” team owner Joe Gibbs said.
