Kyle Busch has just three races left to keep his playoff streak alive, sitting 73 points below the cutline, and the margin for error is razor thin. Watkins Glen, Richmond, and Daytona offer three distinct routes to salvation, from technical road course duels to short-track hustle and superspeedway chaos. This season, his road course form has been stronger, with multiple top tens and a near-miss at COTA, but Watkins Glen has its own challenges. Richmond could be his best shot if RCR brings peak pace, and Daytona remains the ultimate wildcard where anything can happen.

• Can Busch finally turn recent road course pace into a win at Watkins Glen, or will strategy and traffic leave him short?
• If Richmond is the golden ticket, can RCR assemble a race-winning car when it matters most?
• Will Daytona’s pack racing produce the miracle finish that keeps his streak alive?
• With a 73 point deficit, is one clutch win the only path, or are there other scenarios that could save him?

Watch the full breakdown, drop your prediction in the comments, and argue your case. Do you think Kyle pulls off a late-season rescue, or is this where the streak ends?
