Only three races remain in the NASCAR Cup Series regular season with two of the remaining races being road course races – at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Watkins Glen International.

After a Monday race was required due to rain, Chris Buescher made it two in a row with a win last week at Richmond Raceway and again this week at Michigan International Speedway.

Sweeping both stages, Martin Truex Jr continues to hold on to the lead in the Points Standings.

After crashing out of the race early and earning another DNF, Kyle Busch falls to ninth in the point standings.
