NASCAR FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway has been postponed to Monday (August 7) due to inclement weather conditions.

The start of FireKeepers Casino 400 on Sunday was affected by rain. The race was delayed by more than 90 minutes but eventually got underway at the two-mile-long track. However, after 74 of the 200 laps were completed, the rain returned.

After waiting more than 50 minutes, NASCAR officials decided to postpone the conclusion of the Michigan race to 12 pm ET on Monday. The race can be enjoyed on USA Network, NBC Sports, and MRN.

23XI Racing driver Tyler Reddick grabbed the lead from Alex Bowman on Lap 70, and he held on until rain halted the race on Lap 74. At the time the race was called, Bowman was in second place, with Kyle Larson, Martin Truex Jr., and Erik Jones rounding off the top five.

Meanwhile, Kyle Busch, Chase Elliott, William Byron, and Josh Berry were out of the race after hitting the wall in separate incidents.
