Kyle Busch A True Contender For Charlotte
5 years agoJoe Gibbs Racing's Kyle Busch finished fourth in Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Busch never had race-winning speed like his teammate Martin Truex Jr., but he was a constant fixture in the top 10, scoring points in each of the three stages. In 31 starts at CMS, Busch has 14 top-fives, including a dominating victory in the 2018 Coca-Cola 600, where he led 377 of the 400 laps. In fact, Sunday was the first Charlotte oval race since 2016 where Busch failed to lead a single lap. Toyota and JGR don't have the speed advantage they've enjoyed over the last couple of years, but Busch has still been able to finish strong with four top-fives in the first seven races of the 2020 season. Starting from 17th in Wednesday's race, Busch will be a great bet to jump a dozen spots and finish in the top five, making him one of the better high-priced DFS picks.
