NASCAR was searching for parity with the introduction of their new next-gen car, and while there have been some bumps in the road, it has created a lot of interesting results. These include six different winners in the first six races of the season, a record number of lead changes at several tracks, some of the most intense racing seen in decades, and many first-time winners as well. Pit Bull literally won his first race as a car owner at Circuit of The Americas in Texas, cementing him into history. Do you know who else will get cemented into the history books? The person that wins the first next-gen championship.

Where does Kurt Busch come into this though? Although he isn’t the top contender right now for the title, he has created enough of a conversation around him being a contender. Furthermore, with his improving performances every week and being one of the top running Toyotas in the field, it’s only fair to consider Busch a contender for a title.  Things are probably more balanced at the Cup level than any other time in recent memory. This gives veterans like Busch a chance at winning a championship, even though the sport is primarily being dominated by their younger talent.
