Kyle Busch

Kyle Busch comes to one of his best tracks in one of his final races with Joe Gibbs Racing. Yep, it doesn't sound right, but he will not be back behind the wheel of a Gibbs Toyota after this year. However, now that his future is all sorted out, that will release all the pressure he's had to deal with this season. Now the 2 time champion can focus fully on the task at hand.

Kevin Harvick

Not for the first time in his career has he had to be in a must-win situation. In most of those times, he has prevailed. People thought during the summer that Harvick was going to miss the playoffs and possibly retire after 2023 losing his edge. But in Michigan, Kevin Harvick showed the fighting spirit like in the days when he was an undersized high school wrestler and ended the second longest winless streak in his whole career. Plus, he backed that up with winning the next race at Richmond, showing the field why he should never be counted out. His back is up against the wall once again; now he'll be coming to Bristol with both of his fists swinging.
