This week, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series travels to Michigan for the FireKeepers 400. Here are the five drivers most likely to win this Sunday.
Record: 3-3 (Joey Logano at Talladega, Kevin Harvick at Kansas and Charlotte)
The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series travels to Michigan International Speedway for the FireKeepers 400 this weekend for race number 15 of the 2018 season. There are 12 races remaining in the regular season, and what better way to head into the off week than by winning on Sunday and clinching a spot in the playoffs?
Last weekend at Pocono, it was Martin Truex Jr. who outclassed the field for his second win in 2018. He was able to slow the momentum of both Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch, who have seemed to have control of the momentum since early May. This Sunday will be the first of two visits the Cup Series will make to Michigan in 2018. In 2017, it was Kyle Larson who took both wins at the track, and he has now won three races in a row there.
This Sunday, we can expect to see speeds over 200 miles per hour at Michigan International Speedway. Will it be the likes of Truex Jr., Harvick or Kyle Busch in victory lane for the 12th time in a points paying race 2018? Many would say those three should be the favorites every week. However, Larson has seemed to own Michigan as of late. All things considered, here are the five drivers most likely to win on Sunday.
