Phoenix Is Kyle Busch's Last Chance To Extend Winning-Season Streak
3 days agoSunday's race at Phoenix marks Kyle Busch's last chance to extend his record streak of 19 consecutive winning seasons in the NASCAR Cup Series to 20. However, the odds of him doing that seem astronomically remote given that he starts 25th, and the Richard Childress Racing cars have not seemed to have winning speed on short tracks and one-mile ovals lately with the bizarre exception of Austin Dillon's win at Richmond. Although Busch has thrice won at Phoenix, he has not led a lap there since 2019 and has finished in the 20s a lap down in each of his last two starts. Nearly all his good runs this season have come on either intermediates, drafting tracks, or road courses, and he has not had a top-10 finish since Atlanta to start the playoffs. His streak is almost certainly coming to an end.
