NASCAR: Patrick Top Wisconsin Finisher In Pure Michigan 400

Danica Patrick is the top driver with Wisconsin connections in Sunday’s NASCAR race near Detroit. Patrick, born in Beloit and raised in nearby Roscoe, Illinois, placed 22nd in the Monster Energy Series’ Pure Michigan 400 at the Michigan International Speedway. Matt Kenseth of Cambridge, started fourth but finished in 24th. Paul Menard of Eau Claire finished 34th after a crash ended his day with six laps left. Kenseth remains ninth in the series’ point standings, but he’s still three spots out of playoff contention with the Cup Chase just four weeks away. Kyle Larson won his third race of the season in an overtime restart, and Martin Truex Junior remains the series’ leader.
