NASCAR champion Kurt Busch combined two of his favorite things — racing and the Cubs — on a Saturday night in New York.
Busch came to Citi Field to promote his car manufacturer, Ford, the day before he's scheduled to drive in the Pocono 400 in nearby eastern Pennsylvania:

The Stewart-Haas Racing driver even managed to get in some track time — OK, warning track time — when he wasn't watching his Cubbies take on the Mets, and his car looked strong as he rallied for the victory.

The Cubs had a tougher go of it; the game went extra innings (no green-white-checkered jokes, please).
