Kyle Busch

Busch is well on his way to writing one of the greatest stories in the history of sports, now he just needs to finish it.

Busch needs to run well over the last 10 races of the season because if he doesn’t his season will be considered a failure and a wasted opportunity. One of the things that has always worked against Busch in his career was that he could dominate the lower series but never really be a threat to win a title in the Sprint Cup Series. That stigma will remain until Busch makes a run at the title by making the final four.

Missing the final four would not only be a missed opportunity but it would have made the comeback fall short. Busch making it back this season and making the Chase was more than enough when he first came back. Since then he has won four times and looked dominant on the track. With his amazing performance comes higher expectations and now just being in the Chase isn’t going to cut it.

Busch needs to make something out of this opportunity and to do that he will need to continue to run well over the last 10 races of the 2015 season.
