Good run for Kyle Busch, finishing 4th.

Hocevar also got a 10th place finish.

Reddick wins.


Reddick has been the most consistent driver since the All Star Race. Only one finish out of the top 10.

I was curious how Blaney and Elliott dropped like stones on the last lap. They showed the 9 get into the side of the 12. Hard to tell if was just a racing incident or more than that.

He’s turning into this generation’s Mark Martin. Miniature fellow with a high pitched voice that always finds his way to the front.

Also both came from the dirt track ranks.

He is becoming quite the contender this year as well. I know statistically he has had some rough luck and has had some results that weren't indicative of how good his car was and his talent just with how the race played out, but the run he is on is at least make the final four form. I honestly thought his race was over after he fell back with how loose it was and some of the safe plays he made during stage 2, but once they made some adjustments and he let loose, that 45 was a rocket. Statistically Michigan was Reddick's worse track remaining on the schedule. If he can find a way to hold onto the points lead going into the playoffs and get those 15 bonus points. I don't think its out of the question to point out his progression in cup. Year 1: missed playoffs, year 2: round of 16, year 3: round of 12, year 4: round of 8, year 5: ?

I believe RB squeezed on his outside and then someone came low and it cost CE losing air as RB squeezed into him taking air off and CE slid into RB a bit and to make corner both had to let off gas costing them several spots.

Can’t blame either one its last lap. Bit it likely costs Chase the reg season title as he lost around 10 spots and now trails Reddick for that title by 11 (which reg season winner awards 15 chase points I think)

No doubt. I think he is a legit final four and title contender at this point. That team is clicking in all the right places.

What’s crazy to me is it feels like the 45 is the “secondary” car at 23XI while the 23 is the main one. Reddick is still winning(even though I know it’s still good equipment).

NBC finally makes it official, Leigh Diffey will take over Cup Series play-by-play duties for the remainder of the season beginning this weekend at Daytona. Rick Allen will do play-by-play for the Xfinity Series.

Yeah Bubba gets all the love but Reddick is the best driver on that team.

Good change.

But I wish they could tame Letart. He talks as if nobody has ever watched a race, talks down way too much. And I hate how he hangs on some words just nauseating.

Driver Consistency Index: The average difference in a driver's finishing position from one race to the next.

A low index means drivers are finishing around the same spot each week, whereas a higher index is more indicative of a "checkers or wreckers" type of driver.

A visual of what the most consistent season looks like compared to the least consistent. Ironically, they're teammates

Cup Series after Michigan: where each driver has been running vs. where they have been finishing.

Playoff-locked drivers highlighted in gold. The 17 is not locked in yet, that bubble is for the 6.
