Kyle Busch crashes with loose wheel, brake line issues at NASCAR Las Vegas race
Kyle Busch had a loose wheel and hit the outside wall at the NASCAR Las Vegas race, his home event as a Las Vegas native.
Busch, who was running 11th on lap 113 in Sunday's Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, had the right rear wheel fly off the No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet.
The wheel wasn't on all the way, so the aluminum alloy rim was rubbing against metal and was ground to a sharp piece and cut the tire. The rim separated from the tire and flew down the racetrack.
Busch's car also had a brake line issue after hitting the wall.
Busch's incident wasn't the first wheel issue in Sunday's race. Chase Briscoe had a loose wheel in the first stage of Sunday's race.
Christopher Bell's team didn't get the left wheel tightened down all the way. He stopped in Briscoe's stall to get the wheel taken care of before he had a similar issue. Bell was penalized for pitting outside his pit stall and restarted at the end of the longest line.
Busch has brought his car to the garage for more repairs. He is scored 36th.

Auburn's tag team of Jackson Arnold and Cam Coleman could be lethal in 2025
Auburn's tag team of Jackson Arnold and Cam Coleman could be lethal in 2025 Will the duo of Arnold and Coleman stun college football fans this season? Stan and Frank. Jason and Courtney. Bo and Seth. Those are just a few of the few great quarterback and wide receiver duos to come through Auburn since the 1990s. Will the next great Tiger tag team emerge in 2025? Brad Crawford of 247Sports recently compiled a list of the top quarterback/wide receiver duos that are poised for stellar seasons in 2025, and Auburn's 1-2 punch of Jackson Arnold and Cam Coleman made the cut. Arnold placed the duo at No. 2 in his rankings citing uncertainty due to this being the first year that they are paired. However, the potential that Coleman showed last season, as well as the hype surrounding the "fresh start" that Arnold will receive at Auburn, could put Auburn back on the map this season writes Crawford. One of the only wild-card picks in the top 10, Hugh Freeze must get elite-level play out of Oklahoma transfer quarterback Jackson Arnold this season if Auburn expects to be one of the nation's most-improved teams. That means plenty of targets and opportunities for returning wideout Cam Coleman, who had no issues destroying opposing SEC secondaries last fall as a five-star true freshman. He should face more single coverage in 2025 after the Tigers signed top portal pass-catchers Eric Singleton Jr. and Horatio Fields to expand the room on The Plains. Coleman logged 37 catches for 597 yards and eight scores as a freshman in 2024, with a bulk of that production coming over the final three games, where he logged two 100-yard games. Arnold passed for 1,421 yards and 12 touchdowns at Oklahoma in a season where he experienced inconsistent play time. This season, he has a great receiving unit in Coleman, Eric Singleton, Malcolm Simmons, and Horatio Fields to pass to, which could launch him into a comeback campaign and lead Auburn into College Football Playoff contention.
