Sunday's forecast looks great. High 70s and sunny. Saturday is warmer and has a great chance of rain.

Blake Koch just qualified 7th, Sieg 11th.

Wow to be that young and to lose your father, I hope Erik Jones wins today.

Daniel Suarez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing pass and win for Daniel Suarez. That's the way to get your first career win and good run for Jones after his father passes.

LOL at "Kyle Busch School of Charm".

Suarez is probably my legit favorite guy in Nascar right now and him finally breaking it today is awesome, Helluva final stint for Suarez and amazing win.

Kaboom goes Kyle Busch...'s engine...

NITROUS!

I found that the most entertaining Michigan race in a LONG TIME. I would've liked Chase to win, but you can't win 'em all. 7/10 IMO.

Couldn't see the race on Sunday due to no cable nor Internet. So I'll see the whole race on YouTube when I have Internet, But I heard satisfying reviews about it.

BTW, I'm doing this with barely any data I have left on my phone.

I watched very little of the race, i've heard reviews ranging from average Michigan to awesome with a lot in between.

It was one of the better Michigan races in a few years. Friend of mine was there and he had a blast.
