Former NASCAR champion Kurt Busch, right, bounced back from two error-filled qualifying runs with two solid passes Saturday and advanced to the elimination rounds in his first professional drag-racing event in Gainesville, Fla. Busch will face fifth-seeded Erica Enders in the opening round of the 16-car field today. “When you put the helmet on, everything’s equal,” said Enders, who posted the fastest qualifying speed (213.57 mph). “It doesn’t matter if it’s Kurt Busch or George Bush. Hopefully, he’ll go back and tell his NASCAR buddies how awesome NHRA is.”
