Busch Brothers fast during Friday's All-Star Race Practice

Kurt Busch won the All-Star Race in 2010
Welcome back Kyle Busch!

After missing the entire regular season, Kyle Busch began his comeback with the fastest lap during Friday's practice session in preparation for Saturday night's All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Still not 100 percent recovered from the broken leg, Busch came on strong in the later moments of the session with a lap at 188.884 mph.

However, the star of the session was his brother, Kurt Busch, who had the fastest lap of the session until the last 10 minutes. Busch would end up with the fourth-fastest lap (188.396) behind Jamie McMurray and teammate Kevin Harvick, but he would have the fastest average lap speeds in the 5-and-10-lap categories.
