Busch, a two-time Atlanta winner, had just posted the second-fastest lap of the 80-minute session when he spun in Turn 2 at the 1.54-mile track. Busch’s No. 18 made contact with the outside retaining wall, damaging the rear section of his primary car.

“I think it’s toast,” Busch radioed to his crew after skidding to a halt on the backstretch apron, then driving the car back to the garage.
