A procedure is set for Dec. 17 to have a rod removed from his
right leg and screws and a plate from his left foot. Both were
broken during a crash before the Daytona 500 in February.
Busch came back to win the series championship after missing the
first 11 races of the Sprint Cup season.
"I'm ecstatic for the opportunity to be cut open and have blood
and guts all over the place again this offseason," Busch joked.
"I am looking forward to the surgery. I'm looking forward to
getting everything out and being able to go through the rehab to
try to get back to somewhat normal and being able to not have
pain every day and take the medication I have to take every day
and all that."
