NASCAR Qualifying Today: FireKeepers Casino 400 start times, schedule and how to watch

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Michigan International Speedway for the 2024 FireKeepers Casino 400.

The race came to a chaotic conclusion when Joey Logano, in contention for his second win this season, was denied the victory in the final moments.

In a heated battle for the lead, Logano seemed headed for the win until Dillon made contact, causing Logano to spin out and hit the wall.

Dillon also collided with Denny Hamlin, resulting in Hamlin crashing into the wall.

The Richard Childress Racing driver's victory had initially secured his spot in the playoffs, but the penalty took it away while still keeping his first race win in two years.

This late drama has intensified the battle for the remaining four playoff spots with just three races remaining in the regular season.
