Awesome drive by Kyle! Michigan has had good racing at the track this year.

Another top 5 finish from the Blue Deuce.

Brad reminds me of Dale Sr more than Shrub does - that's if he quits playing the punk.

If there's a stumble by Stewart, or Junior, or Bowyer in the next three races, Kez could make the chase outright without the wildcard option . . . . with momentum.

Kez got all his bad luck out of the way earlier in the season. ;)

Kez and Shrub are the two best things to arrive in NASCAR in the last decade. Super talented drivers with a ton of determination, & not afraid to speak their minds.

Amen! It's good to have guys who are talented and speak their minds. It draws people to the sport.

I like Brad more than Shrub.

At least Brad has time on his side to grow up, I guess.

But they're both great and aggressive drivers.

I've liked Brad since he was racing in the truck series earlier in his career. He doesn't rub me the wrong way like Kyle does. He's aggressive and a bit brash but he shows a lot of maturity in his refusal to back down to anybody. Joey Logano tends to whine when he gets knocked around. Brad shakes it off and moves on to the next race. I think he has shown a lot of character by competing so well with a broken ankle. It reminds me a lot of old Ironhead.
