NASCAR: 08-18-2008 Michigan

Another let down for Junior fans. With a remarkably strong performance at the beginning of the race chasing down Johnson and never looking back until the second pitstop. He fell back to fourth and continued to struggle for the rest of the day. With a top 5 looming, Junior stayed out under the caution near the final 20 laps, and then ran into the wall giving him a 24th place finish. Thanks to Dale Jarrett for the shout out at least recognizing Junior's strong run at the start of the race. A strong start at the beginning of the race does not get you a win. Congratulations to Carl Edwards and the 99 Team for the strong run at the end, with Jack Rousch having 4 of the top 5 cars at the end of the day. Next up Bristol! Always an exciting race.
