NASCAR at Michigan: Start time, TV, streaming, lineup for FireKeepers Casino 400
Denny Hamlin made late pass for first Toyota NASCAR Cup Series win.
Denny Hamlin’s late move led to Toyota’s first NASCAR Cup Series win at Nashville Superspeedway.
Toyota was triumphant again last week in the NASCAR Cup Series, with Denny Hamlin and the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing car winning at one of the few tracks they hadn’t won at before. He marked the occasion at Nashville Superspeedway with a bow in honor of Kyle Busch.
But now the 2026 season moves on to its annual stop at Michigan International Speedway, where American manufacturers had controlled Cup Series stops until recently. Hamlin is the defending champion at Michigan, and fellow Toyota driver Tyler Reddick won in 2024. Before that, however, Ford had won nine Cup Series races in a row at the company’s home state track.
The FireKeepers Casino 400 could be another test of how strong of a grip 23XI Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing have on the rest of the competition with Reddick, who leads the season with five wins, and Hamlin sitting atop the 2026 driver points standings.
Hamlin has three career victories at Michigan as do Hendrick Motorsports driver Kyle Larson (Chevrolet) and Team Penske driver Joey Logano (Ford). Larson, the reigning Cup Series champion, and Logano, a three-time champ, are each looking for their first wins this season.
