Kurt Busch to do FREE Q&A for fans on Sunday, June 3
A lot has changed for NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Kurt
Busch since his last visit to the Monster Mile. However, when he returns for

defending Dover winner after his victory in last year's Oct. 2 "AAA 400" NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series race. Fans will have the chance to hear all about Busch's
Dover win last year, as well as his offseason team change, when he participates

that of the current drivers in the top-10 in the NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series standings so far this year, only five of them have ever won a
race at the Monster Mile? Greg Biffle (first), Matt Kenseth (third), Martin
Truex Jr. (fourth), Dale Earnhardt Jr. (tied-fifth) and Tony Stewart (seventh)
all have reached Sunoco Victory Lane at least once in Dover, with Biffle,
Kenseth and Stewart all winning twice at Dover in their careers.
