Kurt Busch found himself a Cup ride...Phoenix Racing's #51

Kurt Busch gets ride for 2012: Kurt Busch will drive the #51 Chevy for Phoenix Racing in 2012. Busch put the handshake deal together with team owner James Finch on Wednesday night. Said Finch: "I told Kurt, 'I won't fire you, and you won't quit. We'll do whatever it takes--roll in the mud if we have to to win. I've worked construction all my life just so I could race and have a good time. I've worked with iron workers, I worked with construction workers, so working with a driver is not going to be a problem. As I said earlier, all we want to do is win". Landon Cassill most recently piloted the #51 for Finch last season. Finch finished 30th in owner points.

If he wins a (non-restrictor plate) race in the #51, I'll be super impressed. That's all I'm gonna say.

No, it's a fairly legit single car team. They get Hendrick engines I believe.

I should clarify: As 'legit' as a single car team can be. I don't think one has finished in the top-20 in points in the past decade lol
