NASCAR is back at Michigan this weekend for the 15th round of the 2026 Cup season, headlined by the Firekeepers Casino 400.
The weekend also features the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and the ARCA Menards Series, giving fans a full slate of on‑track action.
Hamlin’s Quest for a Record
Denny Hamlin, the defending Michigan winner, captured his 62nd career victory last week at Nashville and now looks to tie Kyle Busch’s all‑time win total.
Busch’s recent passing has left a void, and Austin Hill will drive the renumbered No. 33 RCR Chevrolet in his memory.
