Michigan has traditionally been one of my favorite races. I was very much looking forward to it after Dover, but since the Pocono race was so boring my enthusiasm has waned considerably. I hope I’m pleasantly surprised. The stages are 30-30-95 for this race.<\/p>\n

‘It’ booted the Kyle Busch in the 18 spinning him out on the first lap going into the first turn of the race. Caution on lap 1 of 125. Seriously?!?!?! What a loser! His desperation is appalling. That’s ridiculous. I would ask what’s wrong with him, but everytime he opens his mouth he gives us a view of the pitiful state of his insides and the answers become a bit more clear. Sad, but true.<\/p>\n

Restarting on lap five of 125. I can’t see how NASCAR allowed him to keep the lead on that one. It was just ludicrous for him to wreck KyBu like that, but I guess all is fair when that particular toady is involved. I see clouds as the cars roll around. I wonder if weather is predicted. I’ll have to find the broadcast on the radio – just can’t begin to deal with Michael Waltrip and Larry McReynolds.<\/p>\n

MRN it is.<\/p>\n

Stage 1 is over. ‘It’ was out front when the flag waved.<\/p>\n

Restart on lap 38 of 125.<\/p>\n

Caution on lap 38 of 125 that includes Brandon Jones, Michael Annett, Harrison Rhodes, JJ Yeley, Ben Kennedy. Brandon got into the wall spinning in front of the field.<\/p>\n

Second restart, second caution.<\/p>\n

Restarting lap 44 of 125.<\/p>\n

J.J. Yeley has headed to the garage as has Michael Annett and Ben Kennedy.<\/p>\n

Brandon Brown tapped the wall, but continued. on lap 45 of 125.<\/p>\n

Caution for debris on lap 57 of 125.<\/p>\n

Suddenly exhausted, so its nap time. It’s been a long week!<\/p>\n

Restarting on lap 116 of 125. Hamlin leading.<\/p>\n

William Byron pushed ‘It’ then took the lead from him. Nice work kid.<\/p>\n

Caution on lap 120 of 125 as Matt Tifft goes around. Daniel Hemric had contact with Tifft’s left rear corner.<\/p>\n

Restarting with 2 laps to go.<\/p>\n

Hamlin got into William just before the start. Looks like his was pushed from behind. Willaim takes the lead.<\/p>\n

William Byron leads at the white flag.<\/p>\n

Here comes Denny Hamlin.<\/p>\n

Hamlin beats him at the line by about a wheel length. .012 margin of victory.<\/p>\n

Great job William Byron.<\/p>\n

Congrats to Elliott Sadler on a third place finish.<\/p>\n
