Nascar Race Today

Ford has won 9 of the last 11 NASCAR Cup Series races at Michigan International Speedway. 🏁

The only two races Ford hasn’t won during that stretch?

The last two.

The last Chevy win at Michigan came with Kyle Larson in 2017 during his No. 42 days.

Olympic gold medalist, reigning NHL MVP goalie, and Michigan native Connor Hellebuyck will give the command to start engines for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway. 🏁

Prime Video has been dominating the P18-49 demographic during NASCAR coverage, with Nashville Superspeedway up 23% from last year. 📺🏁

Through two races, the median viewer age is six years younger than audiences watching NASCAR Cup Series races on linear networks in 2026.

That may be the most impressive trend from Prime Video so far.

Denny Hamlin believes Shane van Gisbergen’s aggressive racing style is beginning to catch the attention of other drivers and could eventually lead to payback!

Through his work with Dodge, Muhammad Ali served as grand marshal for the June 2001 NASCAR race at Michigan International Speedway. 🏁

Ali unexpectedly walked into the drivers meeting and received a standing ovation before telling the field:

“If I had a fast car, I’d be out there racing against you.”

In Hauler Talk podcast, it was mentioned that Austin Dillon wasn’t in the gas when he hit Brad Keselowski and NASCAR viewed that as a racing incident.

What a start for Denny Hamlin at Nashville Superspeedway!
