Doing Texas proud.
wins the Michigan 200
Truck Series race at
Michigan.
Kyle Busch dominated much of the race, but clean air was the key and when Kyle Busch got caught behind a lead-lap car towards the end, that was enough to let Colin Braun get around him to pick up the win.
This is Braun’s first win in NASCAR, Ford’s first win in the Truck Series this season (and first since Erik Darnell won this race last year) and the first Texan to win in the Truck Series since David Starr back in 2006.
Behind Braun and Busch, you had Brian Ickler in third, Matt Crafton in fourth and Mike Skinner in fifth.

This storyline may be over before it ever really began.
Overshadowed by the
Dale Earnhardt, Jr./
Tony Eury, Jr. saga, was the simple notification on
J.J. Yeley’s website saying that he and
Mayfield Motorsports will not be running this weekend in
Dover. No word was given for why specifically, but surely it’s not easy to attract new sponsors to a team helmed by a driver accused of violating drug policy. The only two sponsors
Mayfield had previously were the All Sport family of companies, of which CEO
Gary Smith is still supposed to be a part owner, and that SmallSponsor.com, which was only running a one-month campaign, far as I know. So, the question is whether All Sport has backed out at this point of the venture or not. If so, that will likely be the end of the team altogether, but that hasn’t been verified yet. Jayski also said that Mayfield Motorsports sent all their employees home early on Tuesday. Also, clearly not a good sign.
This leaves 48 cars on the entry list for Dover.

Yes, it's official this time.
will be taking over for the suspended
Jeremy Mayfield in the 41 car starting in this weekend’s Sprint Showdown at
Charlotte. This ends a full day of “is he or isn’t he?” speculation caused by an
early announcement followed by a public retraction that Yeley would be the new
Mayfield Motorsports driver and officially intersects two stories we’ve been following closely: the suspension of Jeremy Mayfield and watching the return of
J.J. Yeley’s soul patch. My guess is that it was basically a done deal, but the contract terms might not have been worked out yet, hence the backtracking. Also announced is that Shana Mayfield will be put down as the owner of record, which is interesting, but still one of the two guesses I made on that yesterday.

Your face here. Anyone? Bueller?
Well, we’re starting to move on from the whole Jeremy Mayfield saga a bit. We’ve cycled through the five stages of the Kübler-Ross Model, we’re at acceptance and now we’re thinking about what will happen to the 41 car. From what is left of Mayfield Motorsports, they are saying that they plan to soldier on. But with Mayfield suspended as both a driver and an owner, they need to find a replacement for both to be able to continue…and they need to find one soon.

This has been a rough few weeks for the NASCAR family: first we lost David Poole, then we lost Kevin Grubb and then Jeremy Mayfield was suspended for violating the substance abuse policy. So, it’s nice to come off of that and have a week that is strictly all about fun. It’s a home exhibition game for the NASCAR family: All-Star Weekend at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
However, NASCAR’s definition of fun entails all sorts of rules and regulations, pursuant to NASCAR Rulebook Section 13-7-J, “Regulation of Mirth and Merriment,” which requires that fun be “distilled” down to a format that only an mid-level IRS bureaucrat could love. But we fight the power and explain everything to you so you’re prepared for this weekend’s festivities.

J.J. Yeley and his wisp of facial hair are back in NASCAR.
is back in NASCAR. This is good news for NASCAR fans of the soul patch, who have had to avoid tapping out our nation’s “Strategic
Paul Menard Reserve” for the last year during our the soul patch drought we’ve had without Yeley. In any event, J.J. Yeley will be driving the 73 truck for Tagsby Racing, an upstart
Truck Series effort out of Ardmore, Oklahoma, centrally located about 100 miles from Restrictor Plated World Headquarters. They purchased the truck from Gaughan Racing and the engines are from Kevin Troyer Racing Engines. Good luck to J.J. on Saturday at
Kansas.
