The Pure Michigan 400 turned out to be quite the yellow flag affair. Plenty of cautions and lots of big names going out early again. Smiling all the way to Pizza Hut is Jeff Gordon and Barqs, collecting the win and the $10 skin. And a crushing win to boot over struggling(?) Jimmy Johnson and HSG Racing. Kyle Larson’s car catching on fire didn’t help things either.
- Barqs Motorsports def. HSG Racing, 100.50-48.25
- Buzz def. JR Nation, 100.75-86.75
- T-Bone def. TRiM, 75.50-45.50
- Shake and Bake def. Fender Benders, 81.75-33.50
- Yooper Drive def. Busch Whackers, 95.75-48.75
Skin: Jeff Gordon (Barqs Motorsports, $10)
A huge win for Buzz as Harvick/Menard go 2nd/4th, and they move ever closer to the playoffs, but are not there yet! They trail the 6th place team by less than 9 pts; need to make some things happen in the last couple of weeks to get in, perhaps by head-to-head record.
