3 years agoKurt Busch once had some very good runs on this track but has not in some time. He has finished 11th or worse in his last six races on the short Richmond course. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver may even lead a few laps but this may be one of those races where the long-run speed becomes an issue. It is a reason why he has faded late in some of these races. His driver rating at Richmond is nearly 90 which is solid given the lack of top tens of late. The No. 1 is always one to watch for but it does seem the bigger "dominators" may hold court on Saturday night. --Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
