With only three races left on the Cup Series regular season schedule, this weekend’s race at Michigan International Speedway promises to be an exciting event.
The FireKeepers Casino 400 will have a huge impact on the standings as drivers will try to secure the best possible spot for the playoffs, which begin on September 8th.
The gap between first-place Kyle Larson (779) and third-place Chase Elliot (773) is six points, with second-place Tyler Reddick in second place with 774 points. Larson is the only driver in the top three to have multiple wins this season, four in total. Larson has a history of success on the track, winning both the Pure Michigan 400 in 2016 and the FireKeepers Casino 400 and the Pure Michigan again in 2017.
Denny Hamlin (4th), Ryan Blaney (5th), Chris Buescher (13th) and Joey Logano (15th) are the only other drivers in the top 20 overall to have wins at the track. Buescher won last year’s FireKeepers Casino 400, while Logano (2013, 2016, 2019) and Hamlin (2010, 2011) each have multiple wins.
