No. 1 Kyle Busch

Since the disaster at Pocono, Kyle Busch has seen the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series standings get a little tighter.
Busch once had a commanding lead in the standings, but now the top three drivers are separated by less than 100 points.
The past two races have not been good for Busch. He finished dead last at Pocono, the culmination of a weekend when he tried to run three NASCAR races in three states.
He followed that with a 13th at Michigan International Speedway, a race Dale Earnhardt Jr. won.
Busch was asked before the race at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma if he was comfortable with his lead in the Cup standings and if it gives him the luxury of concentrating on wins rather than maintaining his lead.
"Yes and no. We'd rather finish races up front than be leading the race and spin out trying too hard," said Busch, driver of the No. 18 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. "There's a bottom line there that you have to ride and we'll do what we can to get some wins, but if there just not there for us that day than there's just no reason to over extend yourself."
Things did not go well for Busch in qualifying for the Infineon race. He will start Sunday's race 30th.
