NASCAR Cup Series: Full starting lineup after Michigan rainout
By Asher Fair
The NASCAR Cup Series got a little bit of deja vu on Sunday afternoon at Michigan International Speedway. Just like in August 2023, the FireKeepers Casino 400 got underway, but it was red flagged and ultimately postponed to Monday due to rain.
Just 51 of the scheduled 200 laps around the four-turn, 2.0-mile (3.219-kilometer) Brooklyn, Michigan oval were contested on Sunday afternoon before the decision was made to push the remaining 149 laps back to Monday.
The 45-lap first stage was completed, with Team Penske's Ryan Blaney scoring the win, the 10 points, and the playoff point after quite a few other drivers came into the pits during the caution flag period cause by the single-car spin of Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin.
After Blaney came into the pits during the ensuing stage break, Hendrick Motorsports' Chase Elliott moved up from second place to the lead. He is the current leader and is set to lead the field back to the green flag on Monday.
Here is the full restarting lineup at Michigan.
