Maybe this will be the race where Kyle Larson can get his season going.
It's been a struggle for the 26-year-old this year in the Cup Series as he has just one top-5 finish and four top 10s, but with three straight wins in 2016-17 at the two-mile, D-shaped oval of Michigan International Speedway, he should be very confident going into Sunday's race.
As one of the fastest tracks in the series, though, this race is a challenge for everyone and also one where a lot of drivers could win. Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano have a good track record here, and Kevin Harvick and Clint Bowyer took home the two Cup Series victories last year.
The Xfinity Series will also be in Michigan this week, but the Truck Series will run in Texas.
The FireKeepers Casino 400 can be seen at 2 p.m. ET Sunday on FS1.
