No. 11 – Kurt Busch

Kurt Busch is in a weird spot in the Chase.

Busch has easily been one of the most consistent drivers this season yet nobody is really talking about him. Busch might have be a threat to win every weekend like his teammate Kevin Harvick is, but Busch is a threat to run inside of the top-10 and that is more than enough to push him deep into the 2016 NASCAR Chase.

For Busch it seems like his Chase success will hinge on avoiding trouble. Trouble has not been a major issue for Busch this season but that could easily change in the playoffs. If Busch can maintain his current consistency and avoid bad luck, the 2016 NASCAR Chase could end up being very good to him.
