Rain Plays Spoiler for Race Day

The FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway turned into a rain-soaked spectacle as the skies unleashed their watery fury on the NASCAR race this weekend.

As the rain poured down, the drivers were forced to retreat to pit road, and the engines fell silent. With anticipation building, NASCAR decided to reschedule the showdown for Monday, aiming to get engines roaring again at 12:45 pm ET. However, with thunderstorms and a 61 percent chance of rain forecast, the racetrack remains at the mercy of the weather.

Denny Hamlin leads the pack with +500 odds to win, followed closely by William Byron at +600 and Kyle Larson at +700. As the contenders gear up for a thrilling Monday race, the likes of Kyle Busch, Martin Truex Jr., and Kevin Harvick continue to eye victory with their +900 and +1000 odds.

NASCAR Abuzz With Side Drama

Beyond the rain-drenched track, with the FireKeepers Casino 400 paused due to rain, the NASCAR world is abuzz with other developments. Martin Truex Jr. quashed retirement rumors by announcing his extension with Joe Gibbs Racing through 2024. The Cup Series points leader has been with JGR since 2019.

On a different note, Noah Gragson found himself indefinitely suspended by Legacy Motor Club due to a social media blunder involving an unfortunate ‘like’ to an Instagram meme that was making light of George Floyd’s death while in custody of the Minneapolis police. Afterwards, he was also suspended by NASCAR.
