Can Kyle Busch go a perfect five-for-five this season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series?
The two-time Cup Series champion makes his fifth and final Xfinity start of the year Saturday at Atlanta Motor Speedway (3:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN).
Busch claimed the win last Saturday at Road America. He’s also won this season at Circuit of the Americas, Texas Motor Speedway, and Nashville Superspeedway (his 100th series victory).
Meanwhile, Justin Allgaier will go for the season sweep at Atlanta. Back in March, a pit road speeding penalty for Cup regular Martin Truex Jr. opened the door for Allgaier to earn his first win of the season (see highlights in the video above).
His victory was somewhat overshadowed, however, by a post-race confrontation on pit road between Daniel Hemric and Noah Gragson.
