Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich., hosts the NASCAR Cup Series’ FireKeepers Casino 400 this Sunday at 2:30 p.m. ET on USA Network. A 30-minute Countdown to Green Sunday at 2 p.m. ET on USA Network leads into live race coverage.

With just three races remaining in the regular season, 2021 Cup Series Champion Kyle Larson (779 pts) sits in first in the Cup Series standings, trailed closely by Tyler Reddick (-5), Chase Elliott (-6), and Denny Hamlin (-21). Chris Buescher won last year’s race in Michigan. Austin Dillon won last weekend’s race at Richmond, but NASCAR took away the playoff eligibility associated with the victory due to his contact with both Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin on the final lap.
