New act in the fight between Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin in the NASCAR Cup Series for the first of two races in Michigan.
If Joey Logano led all the laps until the yellow flag imposed by NASCAR to allow the teams to make adjustments, Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick then explained themselves from the restart and it is ultimately the driver of the Stewart-Haas Racing which has taken the best to get a new segment this season, its third.
Denny Hamlin finally took second place ahead of Ryan Blaney, Kurt Busch, Brad Keselowski, Erik Jones, Alex Bowman, Chase Elliott, Kyle Busch and Ricky Stenhose Jr.
Victim of a flat tire in the front right shortly after the neutralization imposed by NASCAR, Martin Truex Jr. had to go through the pits under the green flag and concluded the segment in thirty-fifth position in one lap.
