Kyle Busch and the Richard Childress Racing team may have truly found momentum with a couple of races left until the Playoffs. The driver scored his best finish (4th) since April in Monday's FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan.
Finally. Kyle Busch and the No. 8 Richard Childress Racing team had a fast car and were able to close out Monday's NASCAR Cup Series FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway with the finish they deserved. Busch wheeled his Lucas Oil Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 to a fourth-place finish in the race, his best finish since Dover Motor Speedway in April.
In fact, Burnett's final call of the day was a gutsy two-tire pit call on the final pit stop of the race on Lap 166. The move saved Busch, who was running solidly in eighth prior to the green flag pit cycle, a lot of time in the pits. By saving roughly four to five seconds on pit road, it allowed the driver of the No. 8 machine to be in a position to race for the eventual race win as he came out of the pits ahead of William Byron, Chase Elliott, and Tyler Reddick.
The 39-year-old racer credited the late-race two-tire call and the moves he made on the track on the final overtime restart of the race for helping him maximize his finish on the day. In the seven races after the Coca-Cola 600, Busch suffered five DNFs, and had just one top-10 finish, a ninth-place effort at the Chicago Street Course.
