Busch was suspended by NASCAR for an incident with a reporter at Dover several weeks ago. The suspension will be lifted Wednesday.

David Reutimann raced the No. 51 Phoenix Racing Chevy last week at Pocono. Busch was listed on the entry list for this weekend’s race at Michigan issued by NASCAR on Monday. MORE>>>
