Non-Chasing Kyle Busch Hopes To Spoil Chase Party At Charlotte
on
Busch Wouldn’t Be Surprise Bank of America Party Crasher
It’s difficult to think of Kyle Busch as a “spoiler” but the currently 13th-ranked driver certainly fits the profile this week. Busch has won 10 NASCAR national series races at Charlotte Motor Speedway although he’s yet to visit the track’s Victory Lane in a NASCAR Sprint Cup car.
He’s done everything but, posting second or third-place finishes in four of his last five starts. Busch has led 793 laps at Charlotte and boasts a second–best Driver Rating of 107.5. Busch’s third-place Talladega finish was his second top five in four Chase races.
Mark Joey Logano as another non-Chase qualifier with solid marks at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Logano posted top-10 finishes in four of his first five appearances at the track. Until May, when he finished 23rd, Logano had completed every lap of six Charlotte appearances.
