No. 2 – Kyle Busch

Kyle Busch ripped the championship monkey off of his back when he won his first Cup Series title in 2015. He followed that up with a return to the final-four in 2016 and now in 2017 he will be looking for his second championship.

Kyle Busch is the best driver on the best team in NASCAR right now and that really does mean something.

On any given weekend Busch can win and nobody would be surprised. Heck, in any given month Busch could rattle of two or three wins in a row and nobody would be surprised. In 2015 Busch showed he could overcome the odds and in 2016 Busch showed that 2015 wasn’t a fluke.

Everybody in NASCAR wants to win but few in NASCAR hate not winning as much as Kyle Busch does and it’s for that reason that he will be hard to pick against in 2017.
