Event Preview

The NASCAR Cup Series action moves to the Michigan International Speedway circuit this weekend, as the FireKeepers Casino 400 will be staged. As the name suggests, this race will cover a total distance of 400 miles, which will be made up of 200 laps.

Kevin Harvick and David Pearson are the two most dominant drivers in the history of the race, with both winning on five previous occasions. Meanwhile, Roush Fenway Racing is the most successful team with 14 wins. Ford is the most dominant manufacturer in race history after claiming success on 44 occasions.

William Byron retained his spot at the top of the Drivers’ Championship last weekend after finishing in an excellent fifth at the Cracker Barrel 400. That result means that he has now finished in the top five places in three of the last five races.

However, Kyle Larson remains in strong pursuit after finishing eighth last weekend, putting his disappointing effort in the Coca-Cola 600 firmly behind him. Christopher Bell’s consistent form on track was also maintained last weekend after finishing in the top ten for the fourth straight race.

Denny Hamlin and Tyler Reddick also achieved solid performances last weekend in Nashville, and both should have interesting claims in Michigan this weekend. Ryan Blaney won the Cracker Barrel 400 last Sunday, and he will be chasing a quick fire double in Michigan.


FireKeepers Casino 400 Picks

Outside chances have a strong record in the FireKeepers Casino 400. Therefore, it could be worth taking a chance on Chase Briscoe this Sunday. Briscoe has been going under the radar throughout the Cup Series, but he has achieved top five finishes in two of the last three races.
