Although Nashville Superspeedway did not become a part of the NASCAR Cup Series schedule until after Kyle Busch's elite period ended, Busch has still been a solid performer here, even if it hasn't been reflected in his finishes. He led 10 or more laps in each of his first three starts despite never finishing better than ninth, and even in his disastrous 2024 summer stretch, he was running fourth at the end of regulation before crashing twice. On paper, Busch should be a great selection for DFS place-differential points since he is starting 25th. However, in addition to his past mediocre finishes, he's been significantly slower on intermediate tracks this year and doesn't seem to have the speed he once did, especially after last Friday's Craftsman Truck Series race where he only finished 15th while his teammate Rajah Caruth won. Despite his past strong record here, Busch is likely to run worse than expected based on his 2025 form.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
