Kurt Busch's Chase challenge grows at Kansas, backup car and all

Kurt Busch demands your attention in Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Kansas.

There are few better subplots for the Chase for the Sprint Cup's race, which begins at 2:31 p.m. ET with Busch at the rear of the field.

Busch enters the Hollywood Casino 400 with the best average finish on 1.5-mile tracks this season. He didn't qualify particularly well but had good speed in Saturday practices, with the second-best lap in Saturday's first practice at 194.119 mph and third-best lap in the second at 185.797 mph.

He enters the race fifth in Chase standings, a solid position Busch could pad with a good Kansas race.
