With just three races left in the regular season, NASCAR goes short track racing at Richmond. At Michigan, Kevin Harvick snapped a 65-race winless streak, and became the 15th different winner this season.
His victory is bad news for Ryan Blaney, and even worse news for Martin Truex Jr. as this now puts Blaney on the bubble and knocks Truex out of the playoffs.
Bubba Wallace impressed at Michigan, finishing second after starting the race from pole position. He’s now finished eighth or higher in each of the last four races.
Ty Gibbs, who continued to sub for Kurt Busch, scored his first top-ten finish last weekend in just his third Cup start. He will again be in the No. 45 this weekend as Bush recovers from a crash in Pocono qualifying that left him with concussion-like symptoms.
