Kyle Busch has yet to win this season. In fact, he’s 0-for-16 and has just one win in his last 37 Cup Series starts.

On the year, Busch does have two top six finishes in his last three starts in his No. 18 Toyota and three in the last five. It’s just that the speed is lacking. They’ve been battling bad handling race cars all year and as we near the midway point, nothing appears to be changing.

Same for his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate of Martin Truex Jr. Hes only scored just two top five finishes all season. Also, Truex only has two top 10 finishes in his last five starts on the season.

Maybe, Kentucky is just the place to change their luck.

Combined, they’ve won three of the last five Quaker State 400’s. The 1.5-mile Northern Kentucky track has been their playground.

“I love Kentucky,” Busch said. “It was special there in 2011, when we were able to win the first Cup race there, and it stayed that way during our win there four years ago. I look forward to going back every year.”

Busch, calls Kentucky a challenging track and is a place that lends itself to different kinds of setups because it was so rough. He says that fast lap times at Kentucky come from momentum.

“I don’t know,” Busch said on what makes him so good at Kentucky. “People ask me that question about a bunch of different racetracks. It’s pretty nice to be able to go to these racetracks and be able to have the opportunity to do well and run well and finish up front and win. You look at Bristol, you look at Richmond, you look at Kentucky, you’ll see we’ve been doing a hell of a lot better and it’s been really good to go to these places and have the consistency that we need to run up front like that. Kentucky, though, when we first started going there, I remember going there in the ARCA days and the Xfinity days, back when the asphalt was old, rough and bumpy. Then they ground it a couple times and it kind of changed a little bit. I kept up with the changes, and then now it’s all repaved and we’re still trying to work in the surface a bit.

“The place is so round that there’s not a ton of banking compared to some other 1.5-milers. It’s all about how round the corners are and just being able to maintain corner speed and stay on the gas. It’s a place we get excited about, for sure.”

Busch, boasts a series-best average finish of 4.7 in Kentucky. He also has an astonishing average mid-race position of just 2.6. With two victories in the nine races run there, Busch has only finished outside the top-10 once – 12th in 2012, when he battled mechanical issues.

But, if they look pedestrian again, is it time to panic if you are them?

Busch has yet to score a playoff point and if he can’t win in a Pocono-Indy-Kentucky stretch, when will he end this slump?

Truex, hasn’t been a factor either. Meanwhile, their teammate Denny Hamlin has four wins, three since the break.
