Kyle Busch desperately needed a win in Saturday night's Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona, but he wasn't desperate enough to crash Harrison Burton from the race lead. Busch said, 'there's a right way, and a wrong way,' to race. He chose the right way.
In an alternate universe, Kyle Busch is currently locked into the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs for doing whatever it took to win with his back against the wall in the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway. Chances are, in that other universe Harrison Burton ended up turned on the last lap.
It's still possible. But what was staring Busch in the face at Daytona was a certain entry into the Playoffs. He passed it up in favor of doing the right thing. Burton noted that he, himself, was very sideways on the final lap, which opened the door for Busch to clean him out if he wanted to. But he's very thankful that Busch ultimately chose not to.
"For him to race me the right way when I'm the guy that is low in points, if he wrecked me I don't think people would really look twice about it," Burton said, "right? It's just the way these races have gotten. He did things the right way."
