Kyle Busch says he knew immediately that his right leg and left foot were broken when he crashed his car into a concrete wall at Daytona International Speedway.
In his first news conference since the Feb. 21 crash, Busch walked the crowd frame-by-frame through a video of the accident that occurred in the closing laps of the season-opening Xfinity Series race.
Busch had a sharp recollection of the accident and everything he thought and did inside the car as it hurtled toward an inside wall.

Busch said the g-force of the hit itself measured 90 Gs. He is not sure when he'll be cleared to race again.
