Even at two miles in length, Michigan International Speedway is considered an intermediate oval, so NASCAR’s standard oval qualifying format is set to be utilized on Saturday to set the starting lineup for Sunday’s FireKeepers Casino 400.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s qualifying session is set to be a single-car qualifying session, with each driver allowed one single timed qualifying lap. With no second round, those speeds are set to determine the full starting lineup.<\/p>\n

The full qualifying order was set by the qualifying formula, which NASCAR has used since 2025. The current two-variable metric<\/a> replaced the four-variable metric that was in place from 2020 to 2024.<\/p>\n

Follow along with our FireKeepers Casino 400 qualifying updates from the four-turn, 2.0-mile (3.219-kilometer) oval in Brooklyn, Michigan.<\/p>\n
