NASCAR Cup Series: 2018 Consumers Energy 400 entry list

The 23rd race of the 2018 NASCAR Cup Series season is scheduled to take place this Sunday. Here is the entry list for that race.

The Consumers Energy 400 is the 23rd race on the 36-race 2018 NASCAR Cup Series schedule, and it is scheduled to take place this Sunday, August 12 at Michigan International Speedway.

This race is the second of two races on the 2018 schedule at the four-turn, 2.0-mile (3.219-kilometer) Michigan International Speedway oval in Brooklyn, Michigan. The other race at the track was a rain-shortened race that took place on Sunday, June 10.

The race at Michigan International Speedway back in June, the FireKeepers Casino 400, was scheduled to last for 200 laps, but it ended up lasting just 133 laps due to rain. Stewart-Haas Racing’s Clint Bowyer won that race, earning his second victory of the 2018 season. This Sunday’s race is also scheduled to last for 200 laps.
