CAMBRIDGE, WI (Tuesday, May 06, 2008) - Roy Kenseth of RK Race Promotions has announced that the current NASCAR Sprint Cup points leader will be competing in The Swiss Colony All-Star Challenge event on Tuesday, June 24th at Madison International Speedway. Kyle Busch will join Matt Kenseth and his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, Tony Stewart, in the fourth annual event.
"I'm looking forward to it," Busch stated this past Sunday where he finished third in the ECHO Chainsaw 100 ASA Midwest Tour event. "I think it will be a great race. I am looking forward to coming out and having fun with Matt and Tony. I meant to be up here last year, but I didn't have a car ready. This year we got our stable built up a little bit and we will be ready to come back and have some fun."
"He is the hottest driver going right now and will be a great addition to the event," Roy Kenseth stated. "I have always promoted my races with the fans in mind, and I think this will be an awesome event to have three high profile NASCAR drivers competing with the best super late model drivers in the Midwest."
