With Michigan Win, Chris Buescher Makes It Two in a Row for RFK

After a day-long rain delay, the race finished in a great battle between the two fastest cars on the track, as it should be. Chris Buescher backed up last week’s win at Richmond with a stout performance holding off Martin Truex, Jr. who arguably had the fastest car all day. But as we all know, the fastest car doesn’t always win.

Penske 1100 Sweep:  Blaney Wins the 600, Newgarden Wins the 500

I sure hope you got your fix on racing this weekend, if not, then you are a superhuman fan!

Nashville, TN driver Josef Newgarden (yes, he is American) won his first ever Indy 500 in controversial fashion. It’s nothing he did to generate controversy, but Indy race control kind of pissed off the team of Ganassi driver Marcus Ericsson.

Martin Truex Jr. Breaks Winless Streak at the Monster Mile

Martin Truex Jr. Breaks Winless Streak at the Monster Mile

Last week I noted that Martin Truex, Jr. had three wins at Dover but hasn’t been all that great there as of late. He certainly turned that around leading 68 laps and holding off Ross Chastain after a late race restart. After being rained out on Sunday, the Cup teams returned on Monday to a green track that rubbered up nicely as the race progressed. This race was not a case of tires not dropping off as The Monster Mile started eating tires.
