Sports Illustrated has a terrific article this week, Dale Jr.’s Back in the Race by Lars Anderson. Read it whether you are a Junior fan or not.

Anderson interviews Earnhardt and Rick Hendrick among others, dissecting Jr’s competitive resurgence in 2012. Lot’s of reasons are fronted. One is Jr’s new squeeze Amy Reimann.

Anderson was asked not to interview Reimann and there were no pictures of Amy in the mag. But we have a few from Junior’s victory lane celebration at Michigan Speedway earlier this year.

Hendrick Motorsports Pure Michigan Day Went Up in Smoke

Jimmie Johnson was cruisin to his first ever win at Michigan International Speedway then the motor let go with 5 laps to go.

Jeff Gordon suffered all day with a sour power plant. So did Hendrick-powered Tony Stewart. Johnson had to start from the back Sunday after and engine change. Not enough. HMS obviously tried something. It didn’t work.

On the final re-start Greg Biffle held off Brad Keselowski for the win.

This one went to Ford.

Mark Martin Dodges Disaster at Michigan

by Charlie Turner

Oohs and Oh No’s in the Michigan Speedway media center are not commonplace. When they happen, if you weren’t watching the race, your eyes snap to the TVs. This time was scary.

Mark Martin’s pole-sitting #55 spinning down off turn four, sliding into the entrance of pit lane. Martin kept it off the wall until the car impaled on the end of the pit wall that marks the entrance end of the pits. Miraculously, the wall hit behind Martin’s seat area and not at the door. Had the car hit the wall earlier, the scattering gaggle of NASCAR officials, photographers and pit toads might have taken casualties. If the car hits that piece of wall two feet closer to the front of the car, Mark may not have walked away.

Just when you think that NASCAR has all the dangerous places at racetracks protected with SAFER barriers and such, a race car finds a soft spot. Better fix this one.
