KYLE BUSCH, Driver of the No. 18 Interstate Batteries Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing:

Your thoughts heading into the final four races before the Chase cutoff?

"We had a good run at The Glen and cut the margin almost in half, so that was a good start to getting ourselves back in. It all comes down to performance and how you finish on Sunday and the points you get. So when you look at who's in the Chase and who's going to fall out, man, it's hard too look at someone whose going to fall out. (Greg) Biffle and Kenseth - I mean, (Matt) Kenseth has been in it every year, so you can't count on him even though he's fighting for a spot. You know Biffle, he runs strong in these next

Busch Soldiers to 16th-place Finish at Pocono

Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 M&M's Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR), rebounded from a late-race brush with the wall to finish a respectable 16th in Monday's rain-postponed Sunoco Red Cross Pennsylvania 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway.

After starting 14th due to qualifying being rained out and the field set by owner points, Busch moved into the top-15 and stayed there for much of the first 150 laps around the 2.5-mile triangle.

While Busch, crew chief Steve Addington and the M&M's crew methodically worked on the car's handling throughout the first 375 miles, it was the last 125 miles that were the most interesting.

With the final scheduled pit stop of the 200-lap race taking place on lap 166, some cars opted to stay out and

Both races at Pocono last year were tough for you and your team. What is your outlook this weekend?

"Hopefully, we can get some much better results than last year and the first race there this year. We ran a lot better there the last two races but ran out of gas there at the end last August and didn't get great fuel mileage there in June and it ruined our day a bit. We've brought a different setup this year to the flat tracks, since we struggled on them last year, and it's seemed to help, so far. But we haven't necessarily gotten the finishes considering how we've run overall. We'll see about this weekend. We just haven't had

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. - If it seems as if we've just seen the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series run a 500-mile race at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway, site of Sunday's Sunoco Red Cross Pennsylvania 500, it isn't just a figment of your imagination.

That's because the Sprint Cup Series contested the season's first event in the mountains of Pennsylvania just five weeks ago. While this might be a welcome site for some drivers, such as Tony Stewart, winner of the June event, there are others who might not to be quite as excited.

You can count Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 M&M'S Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR), as one who might not be as thrilled to see the 2.5-mile triangle for the second time in just over a two-month span following his disappointing 22nd-place result in June.

Indy Quotes

Do you remember when you first heard the words Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indy 500, Brickyard 400?

"Probably the first time I knew of Indianapolis Motor Speedway, or the Indy 500, was back in the '80s - probably '89, maybe even 1990. Of course, the first time I knew of the Brickyard 400 was '94, being a big Jeff Gordon fan and following him growing up in Las Vegas. When he came into the sport a few years earlier and won the Coca-Cola 600, and then carried that into the Brickyard 400, and then won that race right off the bat, that was quite an accomplishment, for sure."
