Michigan Preview: Prepare for Fast Speeds, Low Fuel

By Jared Turner From the “Tricky Triangle” of Pocono Raceway it’s on to fast and furious Michigan International Speedway, where manufacturer bragging rights are the highest they will be all season and time is running out on drivers trying to win their way into the Chase for the Sprint Cup. A two-mile oval known for blazing speeds, multiple grooves and finishes dictated by fuel mileage, MIS is a driver’s track in every sense of the term.

As he has all season, Truex ran near front and challenged for the win – only this time he finished the job. Now with a victory to his credit, Truex is locked in the Chase for the Sprint Cup and has compiled an amazing 13 top-10 finishes in the season’s first 14 events.…

Not Fast Friends: Junior, Ives Have Yet to Bond

By Jared Turner Dale Earnhardt Jr. said on Friday at Pocono that he and first-year crew chief Greg Ives still don’t have the close, personal friendship that the driver enjoyed with Steve Letarte, his crew chief of the past four seasons. Calling Ives, an engineer, “super, super-serious,” Junior admitted that the new guy atop the No. 88 pit box this season doesn’t joke around much and that there’s not a lot of small talk that goes on between the driver and crew chief. While it’s certainly commendable that Ives doesn’t take his responsibilities lightly, perhaps it wouldn’t hurt for the rookie crew…
