Kyle Busch has had discussions with IndyCar driver Tony Kanaan about having the Brazilian run some NASCAR races for Busch’s team.

“I told him that with Toyota’s support and with the support of the Trucks Series, I think it would be kind of fun to see him,” Busch said Friday at Phoenix International Raceway.

“Test him a little bit, get his feet wet. Get him in some good equipment, go out there and run some races and get some experience. Maybe next year and maybe 2012 go on in a full year. That’s kind of what I explained to him.”

Busch said Kanaan has yet to decide if he’s interested in competing in the Trucks Series.

Kanaan, the 2004 IndyCar champion and winner of 14 races, is currently looking for a job in the IndyCar Series. He was released from Andretti Autosport at the end of the season because the team does not have a sponsor for him in 2011.
