In a show of sportsmanship, Kyle Busch had some tips for Chase Elliott, who is making a comeback at Martinsville Speedway. Speaking in a press conference ahead of the much-awaited race in Martinsville, the Richard Childress Racing driver shared some pointers for the Hendrick driver ahead of his comeback race.
“Yeah, we just talked a little bit back and forth about my experience of my injury and what stuff was like. Everybody’s injuries are different, but my injury was different than his leg injury. It was actual more similar to my foot, where I had plates and screws in my foot.”
“It was not always the easiest to endure a race with the left foot and braking and all that sort of stuff. His is more knee and joint related. If he runs the whole race, he’s going to be sore afterwards. It’s just not easy to jump right back in and go. Even in my fifth week when I won at Sonoma, I couldn’t walk afterwards, it hurt so bad.”
“When you’re in a racecar, you’re hitting that brake pedal and you’re pushing that: you’re pushing load through all of those joints down through the brake pedal. It’s going to be an uncomfortable scenario for him for the next little bit and what all happens. But again, I’m no medical expert or doctor, so I dont really know.”
“Just from my experience, that’s how it was for me. It wasn’t always pleasant with the plates and the screws for the whole year until I got them out. When I got them out and I walked out of the hospital, I was like – damn, I feel good..this feels like a brand new foot.”
