A rainy Sunday in Michigan prompted several delays for NASCAR’s FireKeepers Casino 400 before the race was finally suspended. The drivers will get back to it Monday.
Sunday’s race was delayed more than two hours before the green flag dropped. Drivers were able to complete the first stage, which was won by Ryan Blaney. Denny Hamlin had spun on Lap 39 of the 45-lap opening stage, bringing out a yellow flag. Most of the drivers hit pit road for fuel and tires during the caution, but Blaney was among a handful of drivers that stayed out. The Team Penske driver led on the restart and held on during a three-lap shootout to the end of the stage.
Follow along for highlights and analysis from the completion of NASCAR’s FireKeepers Casino 400.
