FireKeepers Casino 400
The NASCAR Cup Series has held stock car races annually at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan since 1969. Traditionally, the track held two Cup Series races, one in June, around Father's Day weekend and another in August. The August race was not held in 1973 after track owner Roger Penske replaced the race with a Champ Car event. In 2020, both races were held over a single weekend in August due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, the June race was dropped from the schedule as part of a realignment, with its place on the schedule being given to Texas Motor Speedway to host the All-Star Race. The races have had many different corporate sponsors over the years and the 2022 event was known as the FireKeepers Casino 400. Kevin Harvick is the defending winner of the race. Past August winners Notes *1969 & 2001: Race shortened due to rain. *1977: Race postponed from Sunday to Monday due to rain. *2007: Race postponed twice from Sunday to Tuesday morning due to rain ...
