NASCAR at Michigan 2022: Start time, TV, streaming, lineup for Sunday's FireKeepers Casino 400
Four races – that is all that remains for winless NASCAR Cup Series drivers hoping to grab a berth in the 16-driver playoff, which already has 14 spots filled.
And each of the four races — a two-miler, a short-track, a road race and a superspeedway – could play to the strengths of different drivers' skill sets. First up on Sunday is the season's lone race at Michigan International Speedway. That will be followed by Richmond Raceway (Aug. 14), Watkins Glen International (Aug. 21) and the regular-season finale at Daytona International Speedway (Aug. 27).
The trip to Michigan should certainly be welcome news to Ford drivers, who have won the past seven races on the long oval. Team Penske driver Ryan Blaney, who tops the standings among winless drivers and could make the playoff on points, triumphed last year, while Stewart-Haas Racing driver Kevin Harvick, who sits below the playoff bubble, won four times in six years, including three in row in 2019-20 (when MIS hosted two Cup races a year).
Here is all the information you need to get ready for Sunday's FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway.
