This is Kevin Harvick's race track. Everyone else is just driving.
Few drivers have dominated the Michigan International Speedway the way Harvick has in recent years. He has collected more wins here in the past five years than all but five drivers in NASCAR history, winning in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2022. That stretch run also includes consecutive races in 2020 in the FireKeepers Casino 400 (Aug. 8) and the Consumers Energy 400 (Aug. 9).

Only two drivers have won on the track since Harvick picked up his first win in Brooklyn, Mich.: Joey Logano in June 2019 and Ryan Blaney in August 2021. Will Harvick make it a sixth title on Sunday?
Only time will tell. Until then, here's who will be leading the drivers to green on Sunday.

Who won the pole for Michigan in 2023?
Christopher Bell will open Sunday's race in pole position. It is his sixth career pole, and his second in 2023 after he led the field in the 2023 Pala Casino 400. He finished 32nd in that race.
It's a strong start for Joe Gibbs Racing as a whole, with Ty Gibbs in the third spot and Martin Truex Jr. starting in fifth.
