NASCAR: Michigan is a "bull ring".

With chassis issues ironed-out so far mid-season, it looks like this Michigan race is gonna be a test of cornering under the throttle.

Quite a few drivers, even the self-styled "best"(Kyle Busch) has had issues when getting back on the throttle with the wheel turned.  I've known this bane in simulations, particularly with the first V8 road course car I jumped on.

The trick has been maybe feathering the throttle, but that too might be a kerfluffle waiting to happened at this Michigan "bull ring".

The only hope is that any crashes don't precipitate injuries, especially with Kurt Busch still on the shelf from a kerflopple.  That in itself has precipitated Ty Gibbs getting some Cup experience, though, and it all seems to have worked-out well for the fans, in the end.

But here's hoping Kyle Busch a full-recovery and clearance to get back in his Monster Energy car.

McDowell is pushing hard to make Top 10's even after penalties, and it looks like the team has been working hard to give him good equipment for the races.  Anyway, that's my take-away from his recent penalty, that the were pushing the envelope to find an edge, and it looks like they're finding some ways to do that without breaking rules, too, despite the recent infraction.

Michigan will be a good test of Bubba Wallace too, who has been holding to the front lately, but don't discount the bigger teams, the usual suspects, and Harvick is on the hunt for the front, too.
