The Las Vegas sports books have Busch as a co-favorite to win the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series title, coming in at 5/2, but Busch took a step towards making himself the driver in command by winning last weekend’s penultimate race of the season at Arizona’s ISM Raceway.

Busch won at Homestead in 2015 to cap a tremendous comeback season with his first championship, and he also has an advantage with the No. 1 pit stall thanks to a strategic decision by team owner Joe Gibbs. With eight wins this season, look for Busch to be near the front as the laps wind down on Sunday.
