Getting your player ready...

NASCAR didn’t have a race over the weekend, but that didn’t stop Kurt Busch.

With apparently nothing else to do, Busch went to Gainesville, Fla., to compete in drag racing’s Gatornationals.

He didn’t win his debut in the pro stock division, but his crew still mobbed him as though he had won.

Erica Enders edged Busch by half a car length on the quarter-mile drag strip. Enders, the No. 5 seed, covered the distance in 6.538 seconds. The 12th-seeded Busch crossed the finish line in 6.541 seconds.

“This was a weekend that I’ll never forget,” Busch said.
