A rainy Sunday in Michigan caused multiple delays for the NASCAR FireKeepers Casino 400 before the event was ultimately paused. Drivers are set to return to action on Monday.

The race faced over two hours of delays prior to starting. The initial stage, won by Ryan Blaney, was completed. Denny Hamlin’s spin around Lap 39 of the opening stage, which lasted 45 laps, triggered a caution. While most drivers took advantage of the yellow flag to change tires and refuel, Blaney remained on track. He maintained his lead after the restart and secured his stage victory after a three-lap sprint.

How many drivers have claimed victories in NASCAR Cup races for 2024?

In the 2024 season, thirteen drivers have conquered races, but only twelve have secured playoff spots. This follows a penalty imposed on Austin Dillon, who was stripped of his playoff berth after an incident involving Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin during the final lap of last week’s race at Richmond Raceway.

With three races left in the regular season, including Sunday’s event in Michigan, four playoff berths are still open. Winning guarantees a playoff position, but some drivers may still qualify based on points.
