Maybe he’s tearing a page from the formula Tony Stewart used last year – just keep winning, especially when they mean so much. Brad Keselowski is the leader in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship after winning for the second time in three races.

Greg Biffle not only won the race at Michigan but took over the Sprint Cup points lead.  He actually inherited the lead in the race when Jimmie Johnson left the track with engine trouble with six laps to go. Because Johnson’s car left oil on the track it came down to a green-white-checkered finish and Biffle held off Brad Keselowski by under a half a second at the finish line.

The format of the race allowed the winners of each of the first four 20-lap segments to move to the front of the pack entering the pits before the final segment. Johnson w... Read

David Reutimann apologized for his mistake that had a huge impact on the outcome of yesterday’s race at Martinsville.  With a broken suspension he elected to stay on the track to build points, but then his engine quit and he coasted to a stop just three laps from the scheduled end of the race.  It brought out a yellow flag and that’s when the fun began.
