NASCAR: 2020 FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan starting lineup
It’s going to be a busy weekend for NASCAR fans, as the Cup Series is running a doubleheader on Saturday and Sunday at Michigan International Speedway, beginning with the FireKeepers Casino 400.
There will be no practice session or qualifying sessions at Michigan, per NASCAR’s new protocol to limit activities at the track during the coronavirus pandemic.
To determine the order, charter teams were split into three groups based on owner points (1 through 12, 13 through 24 and 25-36), and teams were then assigned a position in a random draw. The final few positions were filled by non-charter teams in order of owner points.
NASCAR’s new formula for determining the starting lineup will not be used until the race at the Daytona road course next weekend.
The 2020 FireKeepers Casino 400 at Kansas will begin at 4:00 p.m. ET on NBCSN on Saturday.
Note: The race is advertised as a 400-miler, but it’s actually shorter. Both races at Michigan will be 156 laps, or 312 miles.
Here’s the starting lineup for the race:
