Crew chief Pat Tryson, who has been working with Kurt Busch, will leave at the end of the season, reportedly to work for Martin Truex Jr.'s team in 2010.
Busch said that the team would finish up the season, including the Chase, before they parted ways, though added that the timing of the announcement was not ideal.
"It's unfortunate that Pat made that type of decision," he said. "It seems like our focus right now should be on the Chase and making it in the Chase, so it's a tough week for that type of news."
Busch needs only a respectable finish tomorrow to hold his spot in the top 12 - he's currently seventh.
