The drivers of the Sprint Cup Series will head back to the oval this weekend when they take on Michigan International Speedway at the Pure Michigan 400.
Marcos Ambrose took the checkered flag last time out in the rain-delayed Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at the Glen at the Watkins Glen International road course.
Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch followed Ambrose across the finish line at Watkins Glen, while Martin Truex Jr. and Joey Logano rounded out the Top 5. Kevin Harvick, Juan Montoya, A.J. Allmendinger, Jeff Burton, and Jimmie Johnson made up the rest of the Top 10 on the day.
Busch and Carl Edwards are tied for the lead in the driver standings after 22 races, with Johnson, Harvick, Matt Kenseth, Kurt Busch, Gordon, Ryan Newman, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Tony Stewart the other Top-10 drivers.
Denny Hamlin and Keselowski sit in the two Wild Card positions to make the Chase.
Hamlin has won two of the last three races at Michigan, including the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400 back in June. Mark Martin has five career Cup wins at Michigan, most recently taking the checkered flag in the 2009 LifeLock 400.
Gordon, Greg Biffle, Kenseth, Kurt Busch, Newman, and Edwards all have a pair of Cup wins at Michigan on their resumes, while Stewart, Earnhardt Jr., Harvick, and Kasey Kahne have one each.
After racing at Michigan the drivers of the Sprint Cup Series will move on to Bristol Motor Speedway for the Irwin Tools Night Race on August 27. September's schedule then features events at Atlanta, Richmond, Chicago, and Loudon.
