Chevrolets dominate this year's Nextel Cup season. But history reflects that success is elusive at the Michigan International Speedway (MIS). In the last eleven Cup races, MIS winners have driven either Fords or Dodges. To note, Chevrolets have accumulated only two of the last 22 races at the venue.

Despite the fact that Chevy grabbed the top-three spots and eight of the top nine during Friday's qualifying, the team is not that certain to get the top spot this Sunday.
