1. Yes, Ford fast
Toyotas Kyle Busch, who has four Cup wins this season, said Fords were fast across the board at Michigan, not just the Stewart-Haas Racing cars. They go down the straightaway really, really fast, said Busch, who was fourth. We have a hard time keeping up with them there.
2. One, two, three
It is rare when a race team sweeps the top three positions in a Cup Series race, but Stewart-Haas Racing did it Sunday with Clint Bowyer, Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch. Its just awesome, said SHR team manager Greg Zipadelli. Its big momentum for our group.
3. Chevy, yikes
Chevrolets woes continued in a big way at Michigan. Chevy had two drivers lead a total of 12 laps. The best in class was Chase Elliott, who finished ninth. Jamie McMurray pitched in with a 10th-place showing. I feel like every week we keep getting a little bit better, McMurray said.
