The NASCAR Cup Series contains four regular season races left on four very different tracks.
Michigan International Speedway is the location for Sunday’s race, with a short track, road track and Daytona remaining.
Kevin Harvick, 96 points from a playoff on wild cards, will now definitely need a win to reach the playoffs. Ford’s No. 4 driver Stuart Haas Racing has 65 consecutive races without a win after a 9-win season in 2020.
