YOU WERE CHASING ONE OF YOUR HEROES, MARK MARTIN. DO YOU THINK YOU COULD HAVE CAUGHT HIM IF HE HADN'T RUN OUT OF FUEL? ROGER, WHO IS EASIER TO HANDLE, JOEY OR BRAD? “I can't wait to hear that answer (laughter). No, I mean, it's kind of ironic. In Pocono last year, racing for a win against Mark Martin, my childhood hero, who I can honestly say I wouldn't be sitting here today without him."

urt Busch and Furniture Row Racing keep on rolling. The single-car team based out of Denver, Colo. posted a third-place finish in Sunday's Pure Michigan 400 Sprint Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway.

JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell Pennzoil Ford Fusion (Finished 1st) – “We are getting closer to the Chase. This was a hard fought win throughout the whole 22 Penske team. We have gone through a lot this season and it is well deserved."

KEVIN HARVICK, NO. 29 RHEEM CHEVROLET SS – FINISHED SECOND - YOU STARTED 13TH AND BROUGHT IT HOME SECOND WE THOUGHT MAYBE YOU WERE GOING TO MAKE A RUN ON JOEY LOGANO THERE AT THE END. DID YOU HAVE A SHOT AT HIM?

Brad Keselowski captured his first NSCS win of the season, taking the checkered flag at Michigan International Speedway for the first time.

Off to Michigan this week for the second and final stop in The Great Lakes State this season and Michigan International Speedway is the 2.5-mile D-shaped superspeedway with 18 degrees of banking in the corners, 12 on the frontstretch, and 5 on the long backstretch. We see speeds top 210 MPH at MIS, making it the fastest track on the schedule.

There is no doubt that Jimmie Johnson is the dominant driver of this generation. However; Johnson isn't much different from dominant drivers of past generations in one aspect. Dale Earnhardt was 0-19 Daytona 500 before his victory in 1998, and Jeff Gordon was 0-17 at the Texas Motor Speedway before holding off a late charge from Johnson for the win in 2009. Johnson comes into this weekend 0-23 at the Michigan International Speedway and some have questioned whether Johnson will ever win in the Irish Hills. Don't be surprised if the 48 can prove all the critics wrong once again.
