NASCAR Cup FireKeepers Casino 400 Conclusion Pushed to Monday at Noon ET
The conclusion of Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway has been pushed to Monday, August 7th at Noon ET, after the onslaught of inclement weather in the Brooklyn, Michigan area.
After the completion of the 74th lap, the caution was displayed for precipitation in the first set of corners, which eventually turned into a red flag. Despite several efforts to dry the two-mile facility, the rain was too much, forcing NASCAR to finish the final 124 laps of the race on Monday.
Coverage of the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway will resume on Monday, August 7th, at Noon ET on USA, MRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
