Kansas May Be Kyle Busch's Last Great Shot to Extend Winning Seasons Streak
2 months agoAlthough Kyle Busch missed the playoffs for the first time since 2012, a win may partially salvage his season like it did for Chris Buescher at Watkins Glen. Today's Kansas race may provide Busch with his best opportunity for a win in a while as his 3rd-place qualifying run is one of his best this year. Although Kansas used to be one of Busch's worst tracks, he has been pretty consistent there recently with 14 top tens in his last 19 starts and seven races with 10 or more laps led including this year's spring event. While Richard Childress Racing seems to be very slow on certain track types, they have consistently had speed on intermediate tracks dating back to the Tyler Reddick years. It's unlikely Busch will outduel all the playoff contenders, but he should run well and it might be his last shot for a win this year.
