NASCAR: Full Michigan restarting order after postponement

The remainder of Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway was pushed back until Monday afternoon.

NASCAR initially planned on starting Sunday’s FireKeepers Casino 400 Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway at 2:49 p.m. ET, but they moved up the green flag time by 19 minutes to 2:30 p.m. ET as a result of a less than stellar weather forecast, giving themselves a little bit of an extra buffer in which to fit the race before sundown.

Unfortunately, that change ultimately meant nothing, as wet weather meant that the 200-lap race around the four-turn, 2.0-mile (3.219-kilometer) Brooklyn, Michigan oval did not end up getting underway until after 4:00 p.m. ET.

Even after the race finally got started, only 73 of its 200 laps were completed before it was red-flagged due to rain.

Shortly after the cars were brought back into the pits, NASCAR made the decision to postpone the rest of the race.

Given the poor weather forecast for the remainder of the evening, the fact that sundown was set for 8:49 p.m. ET, and the fact that Michigan International Speedway does not have lights, the postponement decision was widely anticipated once the race was stopped.

The race could not be deemed official since 100 of its 200 scheduled laps had not been completed when the action was halted. Races are deemed official when they reach the earlier of the halfway point or the end of stage two, and stage two was not due to end until the end of lap 120.

USA Network is set to air the remainder of the race live beginning at 12:00 p.m. ET on Monday, August 7. According to The Weather Channel, there is a 55% chance of showers throughout the day on Monday, so this remains subject to change.

Whenever the race ends up getting back underway, here is how the drivers are set to line up.
