1. As predicted
The Big 3 enjoyed the fun and games from Watkins Glen with everybody else, but they got back to business at Michigan, with Kevin Harvick leading 108 of 200 laps to score his seventh victory of the season. He now leads in playoff points with 40. Kyle Busch has 35.
2. Keelans ride
Harvicks 6-year-old son, Keelan, had a great weekend. Not only did his father buy him a quarter-midget race car, but he got to ride to Victory Lane with the race winner holding the checkered flag. I have had him with me the last three weeks and we have had a ball, dad said.
3. Back to earth
Chase Elliott was sky-high after scoring his first NASCAR Cup Series win at Watkins Glen two weeks ago. At Michigan, he tumbled back to the surface with a ninth-place finish. Yeah, we didnt have a lot of pace and its very frustrating, but I feel like we made the most of it, he said.
