NASCAR Shifts Michigan Race to June, Adds Streaming

The NASCAR Cup Series returns to Michigan International Speedway for the 108th running of the FireKeepers Casino 400, now scheduled in June to avoid the rain delays that affected previous August dates. Chase Briscoe earned his third straight pole position, though no pole-sitter has won this race since 2019. Michigan native Carson Hocevar aims to become the first local driver to win a Cup race at the track, following his recent runner-up finish in Nashville. The 200-lap race begins at 2 p.m. ET and will be broadcast exclusively on Prime Video, marking a new era of streaming for NASCAR. The ARCA Menards Series and the returning Craftsman Truck Series are also part of the race weekend, airing on Fox and FS2. Weather forecasts predict mostly dry conditions, a positive change after several rain-affected race weekends.
