NASCAR - Michigan



Happy Fathers Day to all the Dad's 

NASCAR - Michigan - Not the race the Hendricks teams were looking for. All 4 of the Hendricks cars
finished out of the top 20. Jeff Gordon was the first to have problems with a an early crash, finishing 38th, Kasey Kahne was next, leading the race cuts a tire and hitting the wall, finishing 39th, Dale Earnhardt Jr., also leading the race, blew an engine, finishing 37th. Jimmie Johnson lasted the longest almost to the end of the race also cuts a tire and hits the wall, finishing 28th. The race was pretty uneventful. Greg Biffle once up front had a fast car. Winning his second Michigan race in a row.
Congratulations Greg Biffle!!! Nice racing, giving Ford 1,000 wins. Michigan is a great place to do it. Way to go Ford!!!
