After the insanity of Watkins Glen, can this week's races at Michigan deliver the same drama and excitement? Probably not... unless JOONYER wins again.

Meanwhile, the Nationwide Series heads north of the border to Circuit Gilles Villeneuve for some more road course wackiness, and the Canadian contingent will be out in full force. Patrick Carpentier comes out of "retirement" to wheel another MWR car, Tags joins the party with Turner Motorsports, Ron Fellows returns, Jacques Villeneuve shows up to derp the field again, and many more faces joining in.

Oh, did I mention a certain race-ruining horse will be absent from the Montreal festivities?

I can not say enough how much I am looking forward to the truck race this weekend. They already put a hell of a show on at Michigan. Now it's perfectly smooth, they are going to be faster and possibly full throttle. I only hope I have work off so I can watch it live.

The truck race might be very entertaining. They usually have good races at Michigan because of how the draft effects the trucks because of the hole they punch in the air. I expect the draft will be a bigger factor because of the higher speeds.

No Jacques at Montreal AFAIK, not in the #22 anyway.

Could've swore it said Brad in the #22 for Montreal on the 2012 Team Roster page at Jayski a few weeks ago.

You'd think Kurt would since Kyle is in the hunt for a WC spot.

For some reason I thought the NWS at Montreal was done.

Scott Riggs is going to be in the #5 truck at Michigan instead of Paulie Harraka. Haven't heard wheather this is a permanent change or a one-race deal or not.

Hopefully it is a permanent seat. Scott Riggs has had moderate success in trucks in the past, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Underrated driver in Trucks and Busch/Nationwide imo

It looks like Harraka is going to be sitting out Bristol as well. Jayski posted that Harraka, team owner/crew chief and driver coach Ted Musgrave are stepping back to analyze Harraka's development as a driver. I guess they are putting a more experienced driver in Scott Riggs in to see how good the truck is.

Yes, because bad chassis could explain why Harraka's crashed just about every race this season.
