Kyle Busch capitalizing on early season fight with Joey Logano

MARTINSVILLE, Va. _ Kyle Busch is known for his abrasive behavior.

Look no further than his Texas Motor Speedway resume that includes intentionally wrecking Ron Hornaday Jr. during a truck race and giving a NASCAR official a one-fingered salute.

So nobody should have been surprised when Busch went after Joey Logano at Las Vegas on March 12, an incident that brought national headlines.

When asked about the incident, Busch repeatedly told reporters "everything's great."

Now Busch is trying to cash in on the incident by selling T-shirts that raise money for his Kyle Busch Foundation. Busch is selling "Everything 18 Great" T-shirts on his website, referencing his catchphrase following the fight with a twist on "is" with his car number "18."

The price? $22, a seemingly tongue-in-cheek nod to Logano's car number (22).

Busch said he's sold more than $30,000 worth of T-shirts so far.

"A lot of great fan support from that. It's been awesome," Busch said. "A really neat deal for the fans to be as supportive of it. Whether you agree with it or don't agree with it, it doesn't matter. It's just for a great cause, so we appreciate that."

As far as racing, Busch is feeling good with two consecutive top-10 runs and returning to a track, Martinsville Speedway, that he won at a year ago. Busch will start 10th on Sunday.
