Let's give it up for Kyle Busch. Not only has he made history by being the only NASCAR driver to complete the three series sweep at the same track on the same weekend, but now he has done it twice. Like him or not, the guy can drive! Erik Jones put up one hell of a fight, but in the end he fell short. You could tell he was disappointed, but he will have many more chances at Bristol. Now the playoff race is tight, with only 2 races left, who will make it into the Chase?! 

Darlington is this weekend, and can be the make or break for some of these guys. It's getting down to crunch time for the guys on the bubble and on the outside looking in! Hopefully this will make for some good racing on Sunday.

Well, I definitely didn't think the 42 car was going to pull this one out. I figured Truex Jr. for the win. But now, Kyle Larson has three wins at Michigan. Can anyone guess who the majority pick will be at this track next year? haha. Restarts are still proving to be an exciting part of the race and anything can happen when they start pushing.

Let's get ready for some night race action at Bristol baby! I'm looking forward to this one. I hear they're going to put the grip coating down on the whole place to make it interesting!

Martin Truex Jr finally won a fuel mileage race. I wasn't sure if he could pull it off, but he ended up in Victory Lane. Dale Jr. went out with another failure, and I'm not sure if he'll even win a race at this point. Brad K had a duh moment at the end of the race by blowing too many pit stalls. And the majority pick, AJ Allmendinger, got a top 10 finish. All-in-all, it was a fairly uneventful race until the end.

Looking ahead to Michigan this week, maybe the racing will be tight. Will the Toyota's dominate? Will Dale Jr finally win a race? Will Martin Truex Jr continue to rack up wins? Tune in Sunday for all these answers and more!

Rowdy finally got his first win of the season. He's dominated a lot of races this year, but just always finds a way to not finish first. Maybe he'll stop whining, slightly, and move on now. I'm sure it wasn't tense at all in the Hendrick garage on Monday after Kasey Kahne got into Jimmy Johnson going into turns 3 and 4 and cut Jimmy's left rear, which ended his day early. Clint Bowyer managed to squeak out a stage win by staying out and not pitting at the end of stage 2. I guess he needed those bonus points to help him in the Chase.

Let's get ready for some road course action this weekend at Watkins Glenn. The cup boys will be qualifying and racing on Sunday. The road courses always have the potential to get real exciting, especially on restarts. Will a road course junkie do well this week, or will we see the same trio of contenders at the top?
