Now, Kyle Busch will be recovering from the ordeal and then focusing on the next race of the 2022 Cup season. This weekend, the #18 Joe Gibbs Racing driver and his contemporaries are touching base at the Michigan International Speedway. Busch has won over there in the past, in the 2011 season.

However, Kevin Harvick has won four times, including three in a row, and Ryan Blaney is the most recent winner. Considering that both of them and Martin Truex Jr are still hunting for Playoff spots, the contest will be fierce.

This is largely because there are still two Playoff spots up for grabs. Additionally, there are four races remaining, including Michigan, so the trio will be hoping that there is no new winner.
