The start of Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race has been delayed by rain at Michigan International Speedway.
The FireKeepers Casino 400 was scheduled for a 2:36 p.m. ET green flag (USA, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, NBC Sports App), but precipitation at the 2-mile track placed the start on hold.

When the race sets sail, Denny Hamlin’s No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota will lead the field. Tyler Reddick, who drives for the 23XI Racing team that Hamlin co-owns, will start second in the No. 45 Toyota. Christopher Bell sealed a 1-2-3 sweep for Camry drivers on the starting grid, and he’ll go third in the No. 20 JGR entry.
It’s the second consecutive day that wet weather has disrupted the Michigan schedule. Rain interrupted Cup Series practice and washed out Busch Light Pole qualifying, forcing the starting grid to be set by performance metrics. Rain also caused delays to Saturday’s Xfinity Series race, which was won by Justin Allgaier in overtime.
Ford will be striving for its 10th straight Cup Series victory at Michigan. Chevrolet, Ford and Toyota will compete for the Michigan Heritage Trophy, awarded to the winning manufacturer each year at the 2-mile track.
