There is just one race left before the Championship 4, and as it stands right now, the winningest drivers in NASCAR this season are primed to make it to Homestead.
No driver has more wins in the playoffs than Chase Elliott, however, so he could very well find his way in. Also, Kurt Busch has a win at ISM Raceway in the past and finishes in the top 10 in 58.1 percent of his career races there, so anything can happen Sunday.
The one-mile track in Phoenix presents a unique challenge for drivers, but it also plays into the hands of Kyle Busch, who still has not locked up his spot in the final four. With a win and eight top-fives at ISM Raceway to go with a second-place finish already this season, he will be in good position to punch his ticket this weekend.
The Can-Am 500 can be seen 2:30 p.m. ET Sunday on NBC, and streamed on fuboTV.
