CLEMENTS SUBS FOR KYLE BUSH IN THE NASCAR
NATIONWIDE SERIES
HUNTERSVILLE, NC (June 10, 2008) - Kyle Bush is crafting his own
version of a "Triple-Double" for the upcoming weekend. The
driver of the No. 18 Farm Bureau Insurance Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing
will compete in all three premier NASCAR divisions at two different
tracks - Michigan Int'l Speedway and Kentucky Speedway.
Prior to Bush's helicopter arrival in Kentucky on Saturday night,
all eyes will be on a 23-year old named Jeremy Clements. The Spartanburg,
SC, native has been chosen to practice and qualify the No. 18 Farm
Bureau Insurance Toyota and will be responsible for setting up the
car prior to Busch's arrival. Clements, along with crew chief Jason
Ratcliff, will work hard to get the car to Bush's liking. Since the
No. 18 team is outside the top-30 in Nationwide Series car owner points,
Clements will have the task of not only being fast enough to make
the 43-car field, but also qualify the car towards the front in hopes
of getting a good pit stall for the race. Regardless of where Clements
qualifies the car, Busch will be forced to start at the back of the
pack per the NASCAR rulebook, since the same driver who qualifies
must start.
