OUTLOOK: After a rocky start to the season that had him on almost every driver's bad side, Busch quietly has stayed out of trouble and made himself a championship contender. Probably too immature to win a title just yet, but talented enough to make a run at it.
SPEAKING: ``It's definitely exciting to be in the Chase. Looking forward to the final 10, seven of the 10, one is a crapshoot and the other two we need to work on,'' Busch said.
