NASCAR Official Extended Highlights: Wild wrecks and 2 overtimes at Michigan International Speedway

Stage 1 from Sunday, Aug 19 the fans all on their feet and this is what they've been waiting for ref flag is out reling in Michigan down the backstretch into a headwind as they go into turn three big run there by Kyle Larson can he take the lead in three slides up the racetrack and takes it away from R what an aggressive move he caught those two guys side by side used the draft on the left and went right by them side by side for the lead Hamlin and look at the run as those two went side by side the Run of Bubba Wallace blew by them both and Bubba Wallace has taken the lead here at Michigan very similar to how the five of Kyle arson got the lead on that first lap end at 10 it's the man himself Michael Jordan he's got to like that the 23 car takes the lead smile on the face big smile there as Hamlin now has gotten by the five of Larson gained some racetrack position as the 11 and the 23 continue to fight lead 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 he got close to him he lost the down force and a round around he went Brooks stra down and straight away Brooks get you in the corners here he is watch Denny got good forward momentum making a big gain wide open in the gas slides up behind and as soon as he does he loses down force and around it goes didn't look like he actually tagged the wall he tried to keep it off of it right there he's in trouble saw the Fire come out of the exhaust bip that's him lifting off of the throttle yeah when you get right behind that 23 but still have wheel in it the air shuts off to the diffuser underneath the back of the car instant Arrow shift down Force comes off the back sometimes even adds to the front makes the car turn a Sprint to the Finish as they're back in the restart Zone green flags back in the air blay with a great restart and it's already three wide behind them Bucher with a shove on blay as the two Fords working together there yeah look how dark it is in three and four right now and I don't think it would shock me if Nas car okay we're just hearing the words you just go ahead and bring them down Pit Road so this is just a better job by NASCAR let's get the cars covered up before the r we already heard radio trouble you know in the Reddit car we're not sure it sounds like that's on the pit box but let'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 lightning 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 Rick the Green flag - Monday weather's changed it is dry but it is windy big Tailwind down the front stretch it'll be interesed to see how they adapt it'll be 55 laps complete when they get to the line and 65 to go in stage two it's underway from [Music] 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 here's what happened to Hamlin moment under green Denny Hamlin a moment ago he's way back in 34th and as the green flag came out here is how loose Denny Hamlin was off of turn two look at that what a save there for Denny Hamlin Jeff Burton yeah that was a huge sa caution is back out Logano, Gilliland and Allmendinger have tires go down after green-flag stops at Michigan and this time it was from three different issues so t High issues for we saw gilland the 22 of legano and then also alond Dinger let's listen to the 22 right along with him okay so two things number one incredible job saving that race car where that tire started to have its issue he was still in the corner really good job it's good thing it didn't happen two seconds before cuz he wouldn't have been able to then the 16 that thing blows on the straight yep all the tires went down after he was sliding Restart with 5 to go in Stage 2- Big wreck happens including Kyle Larson it right now the front six did not come to Pit Road under this most recent caution as we see the green flag coming back out with only five laps to go in stage two around 20 laps on tires for the front row the one and the eight eight or nine laps for others but look at the chaos behind the five of Larson that blue and white car on the bottom trying to make four tires work Ty Gibs trying to find some points he's that black car at the top of three wide big shove there coming from the three of Austin Dylan to Ty Gibbs 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 brisk go multiple cars you see busher last year's winner in the grass yeah so this is all the way back to the restart you see the five of Larson 23 of Bubba Wallace these guys all have new tires they're trying to make a move towards the front to get these stage points a big shove gets the five to the bottom three wide I like this move so far yeah just aggressive race and you can see how aggressive it is all the way through the field coming to the stage in trying to get points trying to get track position for later in the race three wide arson all the way on the bottom of the racetrack and then something happens down here I'm not sure if he just gets loose up the racetrack the 15 slow in front of him oh the five just gets loose by himself spins out and as he comes up he really collects I think that's a 23 we didn't see that originally but that's a pretty heavy damage to the front of the 23 another car Jeff who is in this bubble conversation yeah nothing he can do Larson's 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 Kyle Busch wins Stage 2 hard well and look at the points currently with bush leading I mean you know we keep talking about the points battle because there is going to be one with this many races left in my opinion we're going to have a points battle somebody's going to get in on points but throw Kyle Bush in Victory Lane and look I mean it's that is like like the wrinkle that Jeff that's the wrinkle that you and I didn't really experience well most of our points racing was just a math equation this kind of win in advance changes the finish line or changes the line you're shooting for stage two win goes to Kyle bus Start of Stage 3 green half front half front the quarter up quarter off J back seven coming back your bumper now still inside way down there inside inside very bottom still down there be checking up a little in the middle Cory lejoy bringing out the caution he was just upside down rolled back over onto his tires once he hit the grass great sign right there when you see the window net come down but oh what a wild ride Cory lejoy just had slid Forever on the roof down the backstretch then the grass got him tumbling again you see the damage to the roof of the race car I have to I happened to look out of the window and I saw he was in the air see the AMR safety crew immediately to Cory as he climbs out of that race Corey LaJoie flips car remember these cars over 3,000 lbs and take a look at how he gets upside [Music] 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 there has been millions of dollars and hours and hours of time spent to prevent that from happening that's going to catch everybody's by surprise and back to Restart lap 142- Chase Elliott to the lead action here William Byron in that 24 on the outside line brings them back to green and now just 59 laps remaining this right here will be the Race for the lead. Byron vs. Elliott after green flag stops race for the lead when it all Cycles around the 24 of William Byron using those fresh tires early gaining track position he'll be in front of the nine look at the 19 come he's also already made his Pit Stop he's trying to get the nine as well he will he be able to do it oh not quite great job by Chase Elliot to maximize his Pace getting into three coming off Pit Road Marty I don't see Kyle Busch leading off pit road, trying to hold off Byron and Elliott any way the eight Blends in front of him he has you know a quarter mile but he has to get up to speed I just think he's going to be overtaken on the backstretch he's slipping and sliding on the apron trying to get that power down Jeff he knows they're coming he's going to be looking in the mirror I think he's got it it's going to be a potential block into turn three but he's going to drive in turn three wide open in the throttle he does not have to lift cuz he doesn't have the Pace it's going to equal out right here it's going to start to equal out now the question is are two tires good enough to keep this lead he's in front of that 24 but it's closing the Gap how about the 24 driving off the front of the nine as soon as he saw the toe Just For the Win oh there you block him there you go look what a great job he timed it perfectly he waited as long as he could so that he could have fresh tires a little bit later in the race and he waited if he had waited one more lap he would not be in this lead so these are not the leaders of the race Suarez hos ofar Stenhouse Harrison Burton yet to pit but this is the race win assuming we don't have a yell and Josh Barry's Berry pits. Hands the lead to Reddick going to be on Pit Road that means that Tyler reck now race leader and he has 12 laps to go from Michigan and Rick if we learned anything at Richmond it's not over until someone sees the checkered flag Austin Dylan and much has been made about that overtime finish but remember he had the race basically in hand with a couple to go a monster lead a late yellow changed everything you know with 12 to go it could easily happen here at Michigan as well oh who we got a problem Truex has an issue, brings out the yellow the 19 slow off turn four I can't tell if 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 under six laps to go and a caution comes out tough position for Tyler reic right Steve what do you do now it's going to be tough for all these guys you see the kind of the frustration the disappointment the hand up in the air not sure so Martin TR Jr after having such an amazing car all weekend that just looks like to me he got loose we're about to find out again Restart in Overtime- Chastain wrecks Tyler reic up top William Byron on the inside it is overtime presented by Credit One Bank door too is they're going to inent turn one now a surge out of the 24 a great push from keslowski 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 Chastain spins into the inside wall caution comes out I don't think he ever hit no he never did hit the inside wall watch Alex Bowman this is where it all starts Alex Bowman loses control of his car that Stacks everybody up now look at all this chaos ch was Restart - 2nd overtime - Reddick wins at Michigan 11 we're about to find out as we try overtime for a second time Byron on the outside reic on the inside and a big push on that outside line and now Gibbs a big shove as the six checked up that pulled a lot of them back renck out in front Gibbs trying to clear for second he's not going to be able to get by Byron as they go down the backstretch I don't know how he didn't wreck right there when the six checked up Kyle bus trying to move up to Fourth now William Byron has closed into the back bumper of that 45 as they come up on one lap to go in Michigan one more time [Music] around reic out front Byron he's going to look to the outside three carlink separate the top two as they go through two slow on the racetrack the nine and the 12 they're backing up up front 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 are a man how about that for improv St
