  • Kurt Busch

    The car Kurt will be driving at Homestead is nicknamed "Roger," which is appropriate, since after that, the chassis will be "over and out."

    The Chase has been a microcosm of Ryan's year: Five top-10s and four races where he crashed or blew up.

    Greg's so good at Homestead, he's willing to start Sunday's race one lap down just to give the rest of the field a sporting chance.
