NASCAR's annual trip to Michigan International Speedway for the FireKeepers Casino 400 Cup Series race has been moved up from mid-August to early June, and the race is scheduled to take place this Sunday afternoon.
This race is scheduled to be a 200-lap race around the four-turn, 2.0-mile (3.219-kilometer) Brooklyn, Michigan oval, and with Michigan not considered a superspeedway, the regular qualifying format is set to be used.
Each driver is set to make one single-lap qualifying attempt on Saturday morning, and those speeds are set to determine the full starting lineup. Unlike last August, when the series most recently visited the venue, there is no longer a second round shootout for the pole position, and there are no more row-by-row lane designations or qualifying groups.
Additionally, the new two-variable metric, rather than the four-variable metric which was used from 2020 to 2024, was used to determine the qualifying order.
A full breakdown of the new formula can be found here.
Only the 36 full-time, chartered entries are set to compete.
Here's how these 36 drivers are set to roll off on Saturday for FireKeepers Casino 400 qualifying.
