Darrell Wallace Jr. has gone through an astonishing season, losing his Xfinity Series ride when the money dried up, being loaned out to Richard Petty's Winston Cup car and sparkling at Daytona and Kentucky, and now returning to the Truck Series and pulling off a spectacular surge to win. What began as a wild Yankee Truck 200 settled into a Kyle Busch show for awhile before Brad Keselowski's Fords surged to the fore and in the final laps all hell broke loose.
Speaking of all hell breaking loose......
Michigan had several hard hits, but for wrecking a slew of cars.................
.......the Xfinity Series at the Mid-Ohio road course topped the Trucks. Ryan Reid should have stayed in bed after getting into two T-bone melees, while there was an astonishing side by side lap for the lead between Daniel Hemric and race-winner Sam Hornish before Hornish put it away.
What followed in the Michigan 400 was another tranquil affair - surprising given what is advertised as "playoff pressure" - but even with that there was a nasty hit involving Kasey Kahne and another overtime finish.................
...........where Kyle Larson snaked everyone and sang on the radio the last lap because he knew they couldn't draft back around him. It was something of a first for a driver to trash-talk the field before the checkered flag had flown.
In all it was a weekend where the main feature saw a surprising finish that ultimately was continuation of a driver's recent momentum - the hat trick for Kyle Larson. After several weeks of surprises, the form chart appears to be reasserting itself for the season, and Bristol beckons thusly.
