DAYTONA BEACH, Florida (AP) - Kyle Busch and Scott Speed received intravenous fluids Saturday following their drives stint in the Grand-Am race, then retreated to the motorhome to rest before NASCAR's 400-mile Sprint Cup event.
Busch, the defending race winner of NASCAR's Coke Zero 400, drove 70 minutes in his sports car series debut. He split the Chip Ganassi-owned ride with fellow NASCAR driver and ex-Formula One driver Scott Speed.
«Very, very, hot in those cars,» Busch said. «Just the biggest thing was to get some fluids back in me since I know I lost a ton of fluids. The faster you can get to the medical center after getting out of the car, the faster I could get taken care of and get some rest before tonight's race.
Busch and Speed teamed to finish 10th in the race at Daytona International Speedway. Busch had been lobbying Ganassi for a seat in the prestigious Rolex 24 hour race at Daytona in January, but Ganassi told him to try the two-hour July race first.
That event had typically been run two days before the NASCAR race, but Grand-Am, which is now owned by NASCAR, moved it to Saturday afternoon as a doubleheader with the Sprint Cup Series.

The race was won by SunTrust Racing's duo of Italy's Max Angelelli and Brian Frisselle.
