No driver has more wins in the playoffs than Chase Elliott, however, so he could very well find his way in. Also, Kurt Busch has a win at ISM Raceway in the past and finishes in the top 10 in 58.1 percent of his career races there, so anything can happen Sunday.
The one-mile track in Phoenix presents a unique challenge for drivers, but it also plays into the hands of Kyle Busch, who still has not locked up his spot in the final four. With a win and eight top-fives at ISM Raceway to go with a second-place finish already this season, he will be in good position to punch his ticket this weekend.
The Can-Am 500 can be seen 2:30 p.m. ET Sunday on NBC, and streamed on fuboTV.
