With the second win of his NASCAR Cup career -- his first coming two years ago at the Daytona 500 -- Michael McDowell earned himself a spot in this year's Cup playoffs.
INDIANAPOLIS – Though it won’t rock the history books in nearly the same way, Michael McDowell’s second NASCAR Cup series victory proved nearly as pivotal as his first more than two years ago.
“It’s a dream come true,” said McDowell post-race, whose first win of his Cup career came in the 2021 Daytona 500, where he was unable to celebrate with his wife and family because they weren't able to get to the race. “I’m just so thankful to everybody at Front Row Motorsports. These guys gave me everything. We had the fastest car.
After four laps of caution, McDowell maneuvered his way into the lead past the race’s polesitter, Daniel Suarez – who started the day one spot back of McDowell in the points race , just five back of Gibbs and only two back of McDowell.
