Background

[edit]
Michigan International Speedway, the track where the race was held.

Michigan International Speedway is a 2.000 mi (3.219 km) D-shaped ovalsuperspeedway inCambridge Township, Michigan, just south of the village ofBrooklyn.[13][14]Kevin Harvick entered Michigan with a 42–point lead overJoey Logano.Dale Earnhardt Jr. entered 73 back.Jimmie Johnson entered 76 back.Brad Keselowski entered 104 back.

Aero package

[edit]

For the weekend's race, NASCAR used the same high–drag package that was used at theIndianapolis Motor Speedway.[15] One change from the Indy package included an additional air duct mandated on the right–side window of the car.[16] Previously, this was an option left up to the teams.[16] What led NASCAR to mandating this was the excessive heat buildup in the cars caused by the high–downforce package.[16] "I would not be surprised to see a lot of car failures this weekend, specific to heat relation as it pertains to the aero package and its kind of cause and effects,"Brad Keselowski said during a teleconference Tuesday. "And inside the car I would not be surprised to see a lot of hot and worn out drivers after the race. We all know we’re in for a handful of the race."[16]

It started stepping out like it did here in the spring. I over-corrected and hit the wall so this time around I just kind of made it keep rotating and head down towards the infield. I think we need more grass at these race tracks, I think the apron should be full of grass.”[20] In the final few minutes of the session,Austin Dillon reported that his engine had "No RPM's" and was forced to change engines.[20] As a result, he too started the race from the rear of the field.[20]

Qualifying

[edit]

Matt Kenseth won the pole with a time of 36.458 and a speed of 197.488 mph (317.826 km/h).[21] "We’ve had a fast racecar here this weekend," said Kenseth. "Hopefully, we can work on it in practice and get it ready to race. Having the No. 1 starting spot is great."[21] "We aren’t first so we aren’t satisfied," saidJoey Logano. "Qualifying here is very interesting. I had my hands full, I can tell you that much. I was sawing away at it but we'll be close enough to the front to get a good pit stall, so the guys have that going for them. We'll go to work on dialing it in some more during practice."[21] "Tomorrow (Saturday), we'll run more around other cars and learn more about what the (aero) package is going to be like for the race,"Jeff Gordon said of the new rules package. "We won’t truly know until they drop the green and there are 43 cars going into Turn 1."[21]

Driver comments

[edit]

"We've had a great couple months," said Kenseth. "We definitely have momentum. The guys gave us a rocket today. We're going to work hard to keep it rolling."[28]

“We just fought a lot of things today,” Harvick said. “Just really proud of everybody on our Jimmy John’s/Budweiser Chevrolet for fighting back today. We had some handling issues at the beginning of the race and then they were able to really make the car handle a lot better and then we overcame the running out of gas there and we were able to put ourselves back in position up in the front. The No. 20 (Kenseth) was the class of the field today, but everybody on our Jimmy John’s team did a great job.”[29]

“Yeah, we had some circumstances where we had to start at the back and had to figure out a way to get our track position back, and just got to thank my guys,” said Austin Dillon after scoring his best career finish of fourth. "(Crew chief)Slugger Labbe and the engineers did a good job coming up with a plan. That first 20 laps was no fun for us because we had to ride around and try and stay in front of the leader, but we saved gas and decided to not come down on that first competition caution for fuel, and it worked out. It showed that our car was fast enough to stay up there, pitted, drove back up to where we needed to be, and man, it was a fun day for us, the Dow car was fast, and I felt like I passed a lot of cars, also, getting into fourth.”[30]

“We passed a lot of cars, we just couldn’t ever get that track position to fight for the win,” Martin Truex Jr. told NBCSN after the race. “We felt like we were maybe as good as the No. 20 (winner, Matt Kenseth), close at least, and it would have been nice to see if we could have fought it out with him.”[31]

Media comments

[edit]

“I continue to applaud NASCAR for trying rule packages in an effort to improve the competition. But after two tries it’s apparent the high drag package used at Indianapolis and Michigan is not the right direction. Drivers were skeptical all weekend about being able to pass thanks to the impact of the higher spoiler and other aero changes made to how cars handled. It played out in Sunday’s race with passes for the lead minimal and most of the day spent calculating strategies on pit road. While the lower downforce package received rave reviews and will be used again at Darlington on Labor Day weekend, it’s safe to say the days of the high drag aero rules are endangered to say the least.’’

Motor Racing Network lead writer and co-host ofThe Morning Drive onSirius XM NASCAR Radio Pete Pistone giving his thoughts on the new aero package.[32]

Members of the NASCAR media gave their thoughts on the high-downforce package used for this race. Pete Pistone, lead writer for MRN.com and co-host ofThe Morning Drive onSirius XM NASCAR Radio, said that he continued "to applaud NASCAR for trying rule packages in an effort to improve the competition" but that "it’s apparent the high drag package used at Indianapolis and Michigan is not the right direction."[32]

Jerry Jordan of Frontstretch.com said that "it didn’t seem to produce the desired results at Michigan International Speedway" but that he did "applaud NASCAR for trying something new and wanting to make the racing better – and safer – on the track."[33]

Jim Utter of Motorsport.com was less kind in his opinion of the rules package in saying that it "was a complete failure at its debut at Indianapolis Motor Speedway last month and again in Sunday’s Pure Michigan 400 at Michigan International Speedway" and that "restarts were the only thing that created any drama in either race."[34]

Monte Dutton of Bleacher Report stated that "NASCAR’s rules geniuses botched the package used in the Pure Michigan 400."[35]
