Out of playoffs, Busch wants to end season "on a high"
After a disappointing performance in the previous two races, Kyle Busch found himself in a must-win situation at the Cup race. Despite battling for the lead for most of the final stage, Busch had to settle for third place. This result placed him last in the playoff standings, effectively ending his chances of advancing. Busch acknowledged that the poor finishes in Texas and Talladega were ultimately his responsibility. However, he remains determined to finish the season strong, with upcoming races at his home track in Vegas and at Homestead, where he has historically performed well. Busch also expressed his desire to be a spoiler in the final race at Phoenix. Although disappointed with his elimination from the playoffs, Busch still considers his move to Richard Childress Racing a success, having won three races and qualified for the playoffs.
