2 p.m., June 10 Michigan International Speedway, Brooklyn, Mich. WJW and didn’t catch any luck to go with it.”

A few more things to watch Sunday:

Local hope

Erik Jones of Byron finished third last August in only his second Cup start at Michigan.

“Coming home to Michigan and spending some time at home, and coming back to the track that’s so close to my house is nice,” Jones said.

“Any first win would be big, especially at Michigan.”

The 22-year-old Jones is winless in 53 Cup races. He qualified eighth for Sunday.

Domination

Points leader Kyle Busch has won four of this season’s 14 races, and second-place Kevin Harvick has five victories. Martin Truex Jr., the defending series champion, has won twice.

“I think for us we’re working as hard as we ever have,” Truex said. “Certainly, as hard as we did last year to make sure we can have a shot at doing it again, and I think right now we’re in decent shape to be able to do it, but things change fast, so you’ve got to keep working and you’ve got to keep your head down and just keep grinding it out each week.”

On the pole

Kurt Busch won the pole Friday, his second of the season. He doesn’t have a win this year but is seventh in the standings.

Up to speed

Larson was second to Harvick in Saturday morning’s practice. The final scheduled Cup practice later in the day was canceled because of rain. Joey Logano had the third-fastest time Saturday morning, followed by Clint Bowyer and Keselowski.
