   Kyle Busch, who is off to another hot start in NASCAR, appears to be backing off plans to expand his own company to include a NASCAR Truck team.
   Busch, who won more than 20 NASCAR national events last season in Cup, Nationwide and Truck, comes to Atlanta Motor Speedway fresh off a win at Las Vegas.
   He said two weeks ago he was interested in expanding to ownership of a Truck team. But Friday he said he is reassessing his own company right now.
   "I need a better business model," Busch said. "We spent way too much money on our Late Model team last year, and we need to straighten that out.
   "To start up a Truck team would require at least $8 million, and to run it for a year would cost another $3 million. That's an $11 million investment right off the bat.
   "I need to start working on a retirement plan first."
