If Kyle Busch Contends Anywhere, it Could be at Gateway
Despite finishing second in the inaugural Gateway race in 2022 and then winning the 2023 race from the pole, Kyle Busch has fallen on hard times since then as he hasn't won in over two years since. It's starting to look like he might never win again as he's never been as slow as he has been this season. Busch didn't have amazing speed last week at Darlington after contending to win the Southern 500 the year before, so it is likely he will also be slower at Gateway than he has been in the past. Since Busch has arguably showed more speed here than any other track in the Next Gen era, it wouldn't be shocking if he was fast here today, but the probability of that isn't great based on the rest of this year, and his 22nd-place starting position probably isn't low enough to seriously consider him for Place Differential when he won't likely factor for the win.
