As a result, we will bring you Part 68 of a 75-part series on the history NASCAR. Kyle Busch hoped he’d finish the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season on a high note. Busch finished worse than 20th only once during the Chase, a 37th-place result at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Busch also became the first Sprint Cup Series champion since Richard Petty in 1971 to not compete in every race. It would’ve been a good comeback story for Busch to simply race his way into the Chase. After finishing 17th in the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona Int’l Speedway, Busch triumphed on July 11 at Kentucky Speedway.
