As a seasoned NASCAR enthusiast with over two decades of racing under my belt, I can’t help but feel a sense of déjà vu when it comes to the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway. Just like old times, we’re dealing with rain delays and postponements, reminding me of those classic summer afternoons spent huddled around the radio waiting for the race to resume.
On a nostalgic note, I found myself reminiscing about a familiar scenario at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday afternoon. Just like in August 2023, the FireKeepers Casino 400 kicked off, but it was halted by the elements and moved to Monday due to rain. The echoes of history indeed felt quite real!
51 out of the planned 200 rounds on the four-bend, 2.0-mile (3.219-kilometer) Brooklyn, Michigan race track were completed on Sunday afternoon before it was decided that the remaining 149 laps would be rescheduled for Monday.
In the initial 45-lap leg, it was Team Penske’s Ryan Blaney who triumphed, earning 10 points and a playoff point. This success came after several other drivers opted to pit during the caution caused by Joe Gibbs Racing’s Denny Hamlin spinning on the track.
Following Blaney’s pit stop during the interim phase, Chase Elliott, from Hendrick Motorsports, advanced from his second position to take the lead. Currently in the lead, he is all set to spearhead the pack as they return to the starting line on Monday.
Here is the full restarting lineup at Michigan.
1st – Chase Elliott (Car #9, Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet)
