the manufacturer's backyard Michigan always an important race talking with Danny Hamlin Michigan is one of the tracks that has been circled on the calendar for he and Chris gabart for years Denny told me I feel like together we've had a car that could win a number of times people love to see those speeds of 200 M an hour as they entner turn one but right now all of the cars are on Pit Road and that is because a little bit of rain is passing through the area track is getting very close here at Michigan so close that they have told the teams they can remove the covers from the cars and the drivers will be called to their cars at 4:45 and the fans all on their feet and this is what they've been waiting for green flag is out we're racing in [Music] Michigan as those went side by side the Run of Bubba Wallace blew by them both and Bubba Wallace has taken the lead here at Michigan gained some racetrack position as the 11 and the 23 continue to fight Le and the 11 goes around the 11 slid into the wall and then into the grass he goes caution comes out that's the other side of that wake we've been talking about Steve as blay will come out of turn four and a comfortable lead over Chase Elliott will give him the stage win third stage win already of 2024 for blay and Bowman goes all the way down to the apron so did Bowman get that spot it was really close at scoring that he didn't but that mattered to Chastain cuz Chastain finished ninth there well we do not like the looks of that I'm sure the fans here have been trying to not look back over to their left you know in the Reddit car we're not sure it sounds like that's on the pit box but it's get these cars covered up sealed up we don't want weather to affect somebody's day as far as messing up the electronics no and and if there were any lightting in this it also clears The Pit Road quicker you know if you go ahead and get on Pit Road before it starts just it's just safer and better for everybody the rains once again have come and the drivers are out of their cars we're under a red flag condition Mother Nature interfered cars all came to Pit Road storms came through and NASCAR made the decision that they would postpone the race until this morning and that's why we're seeing them rolling again and they're about to make that choose decision again it'll be 55 laps complete when they get to the line and 65 to go in stage two it's underway from Michigan right away we see the 22 of legano jump out of line get down to the bottom of the racetrack making it three wide going into turn one how about four wide there the about the fourth row Risco in that out blue and white car on the outside he made it three wide in the middle of the corner big gain for him he's underneath the 47 s house drives into Corner tries to slide him and the round the car goes and he just ran out of racetrack trying to save it slide job gone wrong for Austin syri he was running 17th caution is back out at Michigan and this time it was from three different issues so Tire issues for we saw gilland the 22 of legano and then also alond Dinger yeah it it was crazy cuz it all happened at once right rear tires it looks like on all three of them uh Jeff you and I were having a conversation you know this is a track where you use the rear air pressure to kind of get the car in a good Arrow position let it squish down more Dave how about the uh entry to the pit stall for the 21 of har Burton it was a bit challenging this time Rick I don't believe you received any contact nonetheless you watched the arrow there on the 21 of Harrison Burton as he comes in and makes that hard turn to the left he's also got to stab the brakes and get the car stopped make it you're going to make it turn it in right here right here right here stop the the it great job by Jeremy Bings letting everybody know he was legal and go ahead and pit the car yes big shove there coming from the three of Austin Dylan to tie G IBS pushes him out and trying to close the gap on Chastain and Bush who rocketed on this restart oh and a round goes to five big Kyle Larson involved in this one as well as the 14 of Brisco multiple cars you see busher last year's winner yeah nothing he can do lson is just in a slide right now now he's in the gas trying to keep from hitting the wall Bubba Wallace trying to avoid him contact Gillan comes in hard as Byron has gotten in front of bush now that's going to help him with fuel he can draft right behind the 24 yeah it's going to help him with fuel but he really want to try to get out there and stretch the lead and these cars behind trying to catch up and get there you see the six Cory lejoy bringing out the caution he was just upside down going by Noah a little bit of contact on the with the right front fender car turned sideways and just flipped in the air that is quite honestly that's just not acceptable there's no way that a car when it turns like that should get up in the air that easily and you see right there slide that gives you a great view of the whole underbody we talk about the underwing everything that people talk about for damage and then here it catches the grass and a couple pretty violent tumbles I mean you said it rick 3,000 lb it looks like a match the roof flaps are designed to keep these cars on the ground that car left roof flaps up Hood flaps are both up right here which normally sets the car back down not for the seven of Joy instantly in the air flipping him onto his roof a big slide on his roof all the way down to the grass Jeff we haven't seen a car flip that quickly by itself in quite some time so let's take a look at our virtual Toyota car and let's talk about exactly these safety features and how they should work I circled them in the replay the hood flaps let the pressure out from underneath the hood the roof flaps are supposed to lower the speed over the car the right roof flap when it opens it's actually connected to a flap as well down in the diffuser for the underbody now when the car gets straight backwards this diffuser flat makes a big difference the goal is to keep the car on the racetrack but in this seven situation obviously it's going to be really looked at cuz it isn't what happened so as we put this car into the kind of wind tunnel and show you what we're looking for right when the car spins ground it's the pressure under the hood that opens the hood flaps it's the air speed going over the roof that opens the roof flaps and then right there you see kind of the red glow and we're hearing from Nascar and the AMR safety that the seven and Cory Le jooy has been evaluated and released from the infield Care Center great news there done a great job at Joe Gibbs Racing a great partner to this team as well oh who we got a problem the 19 slow off turn four I can't tell elh it's a tire caution has come out there will be a restart he got up in the wall he seems to be up back up to speed yeah so now some very difficult decisions let's listening to what they had to say this a joke come on bull touch the wall there's some pain on the RAC track good grief kazlowski goes to the bottom of the racetrack here comes reic on the outside once again reic with momentum going down the backstretch and looking him fan out behind him and around goes the one Ros chest spins into the inside wall caution comes out look at this he is just behind on the steering can never get caught back up and that car tried to lift and actually set back down which is what we'd love to see with cars spinning one more set of turns reic with a three car length Advantage now pulling away as he comes out of four Tyler reck is going to win again this time it's in Michigan hell yeah Tyler you AR a man how about that for some Michigan stats and that team is going to start celebrating and I'm sure this is going to be a very emotional win for Tyler reck as his mentor Scott Bloomquist lost his life in an airplane accident earlier this week the fans here at Michigan saw another great race we're glad that they stuck around here on a Monday to enjoy it [Music] [Music] m [Applause] hey race fans thanks for watching our video for all NASCAR on
