All three NASCAR top-tier winners this week won their first race in their respective series with Brett Moffitt winning the Camping World Truck Series at MI and Michael McDowell winning the XFINITY road course race in Elkhart Lake. All Ragan would have to do to knock Buescher out of the Chase is to finish a total of eight spots ahead during the final two races. There are only two races left before the NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup championship starts. Michael McDowell claimed his first Xfinity Series win at Road America on Saturday and Brett Moffitt drove to victory lane at MI after the Camping World Truck Series race, also on Saturday. Bowman started sixth and quickly moved up to fourth, but engine problems doomed his chances and he finished 30th, five laps down.

The rest of the 16-car field will be made up by points and Elliott is still in search for that elusive win, sitting 14th place with a 27-point lead over Ryan Newman who is now on the outside in 17th place. We’ve got to work on that with two [races] to go now. He could have pulled underneath and got by, but he stayed with me and got me the lead. He took the lead from Chase Elliott with less than 10 laps remaining and held off the charge from the rookie. Of course, there could be fewer than three winless drivers in the Chase if a winless driver wins at Darlington or Richmond. It was the fifth top-10 finish for him in the past seven races. Stewart plans to retire after this season, and even Johnson is all the way down in ninth place in the standings. Joey Logano tries to sweep both races at MI after winning from the pole in June. Last weekend, it was Larson and Elliott going 1-2. To drive the Chip Ganassi racing Chevrolet to the wind.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – Kyle Larson first took off his steering wheel and hung it out the window as he did celebratory burnouts.
“They say you’ve got to run 100 races before these drivers can figure it out”, team owner Chip Ganassi said.
What They’re Saying: “The respect Darlington commands is incredible”.
The win snapped a 99-race losing streak for CGR and, as it were, Larson.
“His contract came up one time”.
“You either do or you don’t and I didn’t”. “He said, ‘They all had a shot at me the first time around and they passed, ‘” Ganassi said. “Any time you have a young guy come along that can win, sure, you want to rally around that”.
Kyle Larson celebrates with crew members after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich., Sunday, Aug. 28, 2016. It was start No. 99 for him.
A competition caution took place on laps 22 to 25.
“At the end I gave Kyle a really good push”, offered Keselowski, who ultimately came home third (before failing post-race inspection), “Looked like Chase spun his tires a little bit”. “There’s too many pieces”.

While most have to wait for years to find success in NASCAR, the newest wave of drivers not only is accustomed to winning, they fully expect it. He was. Who is now happy that brown is anything we lot better than Brad and their way in my side and Versace’s Miami and knew after about a lap of him not closing on me I kind of need thousands of women race another cost amounts us pretty calm for a couple laps.
