AVONDALE, Ariz. - Kurt Busch, the reigning Nextel Cup champion, has been suspended for the final two races of the season. His team, Roush Racing, dropped him after he was cited by police in Avondale, Arizona for reckless driving.

Busch was stopped Friday night by police near the Phoenix International Raceway, the site of today's Checker Auto Parts 500, after trying to avoid another car and running a stop sign. The police report said the officer who stopped Busch smelled alcohol on the driver's breath, although Busch was not cited for that.

He has been replaced for today's race by Kenny Williams.
