The NASCAR weekend that descends on Michigan International Speedway this June promises high‑octane competition and a showcase of the sport’s expanding media reach. The track in Brooklyn, Michigan, will host both the Craftsman Truck Series and the premier Cup Series in back‑to‑back events that begin on Saturday morning and culminate on Sunday afternoon.
Saturday’s Truck Series Action
Truck Series teams will take to the 2.0‑mile oval at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time for a practice session that gives drivers a first chance to fine‑tune setups on a track that has historically rewarded aerodynamic grip. Later that morning, at the same hour, qualifying will determine the starting order for the DQS Solutions & Staffing 250, the 250‑mile race that anchors Saturday’s schedule.
The centerpiece of the day, the DQS Solutions & Staffing 250, is set for a 1:30 p.m. ET start and will be shown live on FOX One, with a secondary feed on FS1 for viewers seeking an alternate perspective. The race will feature a blend of veteran drivers and rising talent, all aiming to collect valuable points early in the season.
Sunday’s Cup Series Finale
The following day, the Cup Series will hold its own practice and qualifying sessions at 5 p.m. ET on Saturday, June 6, with the action streamed on Amazon Prime Video, reflecting the series’ growing partnership with the platform. The climax arrives on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET with the Firekeepers Casino 400, a 400‑mile event that will again be carried by Prime, giving fans a chance to watch the final laps unfold in real time.
Both the Truck and Cup races will be supported by MRN Radio and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, channel 90, ensuring that listeners across the country can follow every pit stop, caution and lead change, whether they are behind the wheel or at home.
