Michigan Super Speedway was home to round 15 of the series.
This high banked oval which boasts speeds of 153mph in the corners is one of Nascar's fastest tracks.
The race weekend started off with the mandatory 10 lap practice session. I was 13th with a time of 41.114.
Qualifying next and the question was could I get further up the grid? The answer was no as I could only manage 36th with times of 41.269 and 41.232.
From the green flag I managed to move up into the lead before pitting for fuel on lap 24. Unfortunately I got caught speeding in the pit lane and so was dead last when I came out of the pits for the second time.
On lap 32 I pitted under yellow for more fuel and a new set of tyres.
I managed to climb through the pack to get a second place finish - after a traumatic race, a podium place was a satisfying result.
I led 6 of the 60 laps. Another second and another giant step towards the championship. I now had 2 races in hand. It was all looking good.
My best time of the race was 41.242 slightly slower than my qualifying effort.
