Winner: Future Superstars

It was a look into the future for NASCAR fans today as Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney all finished in the top-5.

As we all know, Kyle Larson was able to capture the first win of his Cup Series career after leading 41 laps and capitalizing on a late caution.

Right behind him was Chase Elliott who looked impressive all day after chasing down the leaders and staying out front for 31 laps. He now has two second-place finishes at Michigan and it looks like it could be one of his favorite tracks to race at.

Then in fourth was Ryan Blaney, who never led any laps but stayed in the top-10 for the majority of the day before earning the best finish of his 2016 season so far.

At the final restart of the race, these three drivers ran first, second and third. They agin proved to us why they are the future of the Cup Series.
