Busch suffered a compound fracture of his right leg and a
broken left foot in a serious head-on crash with a wall during
the Xfinity Series race last Saturday night at Daytona (Fla.)
International Raceway.
Ragan drove his own No. 34 car in the Daytona 500 last Sunday to
a 17th-place finish. He has two victories his NASCAR career, the
last one in 2013 at Talladega.
"We appreciate being able to work with Front Row Motorsports and
CSX for David's (Ragan) availability," team owner Joe Gibbs
said. "We are fortunate to be able to have someone of David's
caliber behind the wheel while Kyle recovers."
Matt Crafton, a two-time NASCAR Truck Series champion, drove
Busch's car in the Daytona 500 and finished 18th in his first
Sprint Cup race.
Erik Jones will replace Busch in the Xfinity series. Jones has
four career victories in 18 truck races.
