One Wet Weekend in Michigan
posted in Race Recap |Will “The Sleeper” McNelis seems to be picking up where Jake left off last session. He tops the leaderboard this week, along with Sonya “QOS” Spahr and Jill & Dave on “Shibumi”. He also takes over the top of the session standings, and with 6 of the top 10 not yet “in the show” it promises to be an interesting run to the playoffs.
The race was run on a tuesday in front of a motley crew of die-hard fans. Some in the infield tried to leave but their vehicles were stuck in the mud! Kurt Busch won, and Dale Jr. lost more ground in the Chase. Get the full story at NASCAR.com
