WATCH: Kyle Busch Catches Some Serious Air Ahead of His Nitro Rallycross Debut

Later on this year, Kyle Busch is expected to compete in the Nitro Rallycross event. One of the highlights of this event is a showdown between himself and rallycross star, Travis Pastrana. In the build-up to the event, Busch was spotted getting a few runs in the car on the dirt. In addition to that, he was getting some great air time.

According to reports, the race, which is the third round of the season, is set to kick off at 4:00 PM ET at the Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Arizona. After that, the Nitro Rallycross paddock heads to California and Florida.

The footage came during a practice session where the Joe Gibbs Racing driver was just getting a feel for the car. The two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion expertly made his way around the track at Wild Horse Pass. All the while, he went over several of the jumps and he was having fun.

On an interesting note though, Travis Pastrana might attract more NASCAR drivers. To be precise, he turned up to a couple of NASCAR races to try and coax a few drivers to have a run in the series.

At Martinsville earlier this year, he was in conversation with Chase Elliott and Joey Logano. Both drivers have expressed an interest in competing in the series in the near future. Although the driver is not expecting spectacular results, Busch is hoping that he puts on a decent show and has plenty of fun.
