Two-time NASCAR Cup Series Kyle Busch needs a win at Daytona to secure a playoff berth.
Kyle Busch does not feel any additional pressure to make the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs in the Daytona 400 this weekend, despite his struggles in the No. 8 Chevrolet.
Having not finished higher than fifth in the first 25 races, Busch is 16th in the overall championship and 19th in the playoff standings with one race left in the Regular Season.
His only chance of making the playoffs is by winning at Daytona International Speedway, a feat he has not accomplished in over two years.
If he wins on Saturday, he could knock Tyler Reddick or Alex Bowman out of playoff contention.
Although time is running out, Busch insists he does not feel extra pressure and sees this weekend as a prime opportunity to secure a spot in the championship race.
