Edwards sweeps Michigan

Carl Edwards held off Kyle Busch to get the win.  Late race cautions for debris kept closing the field back up, but Busch didn't have enough to catch Edwards.

Blaney took a hard hit into the wall and three of the Hendrick cars had trouble.  Two Hendrick cars were caught up in the same incident of three wide racing and apparently not enough room for one of them.  Johnson had to go in because his tire got cut and went a lap down, he eventually got back on the lead lap with the very last caution, but again spun before crossing the line and finished 17th.

Gordon wasn't as luck as Johnson, his tire went down a few laps after the incident with Johnson and he hit the wall hard, they tried to fix the car and get it back out, but they couldn't do it and Gordon ended getting a DNF and finishing 42nd.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., appeared to be doing well for most of the race, he even led some, but on the last restart he got into the outside wall and did some major damage to the car as compared to what is usually seen when a car slaps the outside wall, he ended up finishing 23rd.

Denny Hamlin also had an engine blow near the end of the race and Kasey Kahne also had engine problems, so there was a bit of a shakeup in the points, especially for the guys trying to stay in the Chase and those trying to get in.

Kyle Busch still leads the standings, as if that was ever going to change, followed by Edwards, Johnson, Earnhardt Jr. and Burton, all of those stayed the same, even with Johnson and Jr.'s problems.  The rest of the field got shaken up a bit, Tony Stewart moved up one spot to 6th, Biffle moved up three spots to 7th, Harvick moved up three spots to 8th, Jeff Gordon dropped three spots to 9th and Matt Kenseth moved up moved up two spot to 10th.  To round out the Chase standings, both Kahne and Hamlin dropped three spots to 11th and 12th.  Next week is Bristol, which could shake things up even more.

Congrats to Edwards for the weekend sweep.
