Is is possible for an asteroid to enter Earth's atmosphere, not land at all, then just leave Earth's atmosphere?

I know it would have to be going very fast and that it would definitely get sling-shotted by the Earth with the possibility of hitting the Moon. But is it still possible and what would the conditions have to be like for something like this to be possible?

Yep. It depends a lot on the angle of entry, it can just skip back out. A Chinese space probe did just that late last year, it dropped off a lander to Earth, then it skipped back out, and is now up orbiting the Moon.
