The only thing predictable about NASCAR's 2019 season so far is that it has been unpredictable.
That very well could change this week on the one-mile desert track at ISM Raceway in Phoenix.

While we have had three different winners on three tracks so far this year, Kyle Busch comes into Phoenix having won last fall's race at the track and never having finished worse than seventh in his last seven trips there. And, honestly, the seventh-place finish was an anomaly as he has finished fourth or better in six of his last seven times at ISM.
Busch was primed for a win last week in Las Vegas, but a speeding penalty on pit road all but derailed his chances of achieving the Trucks-Xfinity-Cup series trifecta on his hometown track.
This is a great chance for him to get his first Cup Series win of the year and lock up a playoff spot early in the season.
