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.
