NASCAR is at Michigan International Speedway this weekend, and the Cup Series race on Sunday is the FireKeepers Casino 400, set for 2:30 pm Eastern time. You can watch the race on USA or listen on Motor Racing Network or SiriusXM. Chris Buescher comes to Michigan as the big winner from last week as he took first at the Cook Out 400 in Richmond. That win clinched a spot in the Cup Series playoffs for Buescher as he got his first victory of the season. He combined with Brad Keselowki to lead 190 of the 400 laps, and he edged Denny Hamlin by 0.549 seconds, a margin that dropped from over five seconds thanks to a late caution. On a day when temperatures inside the cars went over 130 degrees Fahrenheit, Buescher was able to come back from starting in 26th place to get the third Cup Series win of his career. Let’s look at the NASCAR betting odds for the drivers in the field and go over some wager card suggestions.

Kyle Larson
should have won the last time this racing package was in play. Denny Hamlin ended up wrecking Larson and taking the win away from him, so we know that Larson will have plenty of motivation. He had a fast car that day at Pocono, and he will have a fast car again at Michigan. Between 2016 and 2017, Larson won three straight races here, and he has also won twice and finished second at a similar two-mile intermediate track at Fontana. He has two third-place finishes in his last three races here as well.Kevin Harvick
has six wins in the last eight wins at Michigan. Even though his team has struggled mightily with the intermediate track package for the last three years, Michigan has been the exception. If you go back over the last nine races, he also has a runner-up finish from the spring 2018 race, when rain shortened the event and he finished second behind Clint Bowyer. It’s hard to explain why Harvick does so well here, as this track is not substantially different from other intermediate tracks, but it is often foolhardy to bet against that sort of history.Christopher Bell
finished in the top ten at Pocono and Nashville, so he has a car with enough speed to compete. Last year, he showed that he has what it takes to compete at Michigan. He doesn’t have any intermediate track wins in the Cup Series, but he does have a lot from his time in the Xfinity Series. He could get that first Cup Series win on this type of track this weekend.Martin Truex Jr
scored a 0.97 Dietrich Data Score at Pocono and Nashville, both intermediate tracks (a perfect rating is 1.00). The Cup Series went to four different intermediate tracks in May; Truex posted a 0.89 at Dover and won the race, a 0.97 at Kansas, a 0.91 at Darlington, and a 0.92 at Charlotte. No one else has better metrics right now on intermediate tracks. He has yet to win at Michigan, but he has six straight top-ten finishes over that time frame, including four top-five results.Bet on the NASCAR Cup Series FireKeepers Casino 400!
