Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Busch, known to , started on the pole for Saturday’s race at Michigan International Speedway. He didn’t stay up there for long, as contact with sent him straight into the infield grass.

That sure does sound like a lot of Cup Series drivers dominating the Xfinity race—what’s new?—but it could be worse. NASCAR each season in October, which is in years. This race is one of each of their 10 allotted Xfinity events for the year.
