Despite Poor Qualifying Result, Stay Away from Kyle Busch
Despite his awful first decade at Kansas, Kyle Busch was quite productive with the Gen 6 car, with which he won twice and led 320 laps. He had some speed with the Next Gen car as well with 70 laaps led and a third-place finish in the spring 2022 race, but he really hasn't had much speed anywhere since he led the most laps at Circuit of the Americas and it's hard to imagine that changing tomorrow. Typically, you'd want to start Busch after he qualified 29th, but he qualified even worse in the spring where he started 35th and only made it back up to 21st. Busch for the first time in his career has below average speed and his crew chief Randall Burnett is now a lame duck after it has been announced he will be joining Connor Zilisch's team next year. Although you might be tempted by his weak starting position, stay away.
