The NASCAR Cup Series makes a pit stop in Michigan for the final weeks of the regular season. After the chaos at the Cook Out 400 a week ago, the season continues as usual, but there is also a shakeup in the standings at the top of the landscape.
While Kyle Larson remains in the top spot, Tyler Reddick has overtaken Chase Elliott to secure the second spot with just weeks to go in the regular season. To make matters even more questionable, Austin Dillon’s actions will undoubtedly have an impact on the integrity of racing in the future, whether fans agree with his post-race statements or not.
The Michigan race will be important as the top 16 drivers enter the postseason, so every lap and time stamp counts, especially considering the battle for the fall playoffs will separate the championship contenders from the contenders.
Can Larson retain his No. 1 position after Sunday or will a new driver emerge as the one to beat heading into the playoffs?
Below you’ll find all the important details ahead of Sunday, including TV and streaming options for the race.
