Kyle Busch, the regular-season points winner, struggled from the start in a disaster of an opening race. He broke the sway bar on his Toyota just minutes after the race began, and struggled to keep his car off the wall as he tried to nurse it to the mandatory first caution at Lap 35.
Busch barely made it and fell two laps off the pace -- one lap because of a penalty -- and restarted in 43rd place. He was in a later wreck and finished 34th, 12 laps down.
After starting the Chase with an 80-point cushion, Busch tumbled all the way to eighth in the standings.
I was...wonderful...
