CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kyle Busch has been released from the hospital following surgery on his left foot after breaking it during a crash at Daytona International Speedway.

Dr. Robert Anderson of OrthoCarolina performed the surgery on Wednesday.

Busch broke his right leg and left foot Saturday in the Xfinity Series race when he crashed into a concrete wall at Daytona. He missed the season-opening Daytona 500 and is out indefinitely. He had surgery on his leg after the crash.

He was transferred Tuesday from Daytona to Charlotte, where he was released Friday.

David Ragan is driving the No. 18 Toyota this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Busch's sponsor put "Get well, Kyle!" on the back of the car.
