Reigning Sprint Cup champion Kyle Busch has a souvenir of sorts from his final surgeries on the leg and foot he injured severely last February at Daytona.

Busch's final surgeries were done to take out the plates, rod and screws used to help stabilize him after suffering a compound fracture of his lower right leg and a mid-foot fracture of his left foot.

As a result of the injuries, Busch missed the Daytona 500 and 10 more Sprint Cup Series points races before returning for the Sprint All-Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway in mid-May.
