Kyle Busch won't dwell on all that's gone wrong this season. Instead, the two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion will focus on winning at the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway and extending his streak in the playoffs to 12 straight seasons. He last missed the postseason in 2012 and is 106 points out of the grid this season.
