FireKeepers Casino 400 Track: Michigan International Speedway

Michigan International Speedway (MIS), located in Brooklyn, Michigan, is a 2-mile D-shaped oval renowned for its high speeds and wide racing surface.

The track features 18 degrees of banking in the turns,12 degrees on the frontstretch, and 5 degrees on the backstretch, allowing for speeds exceeding 200 mph.

MIS is one of the fastest tracks in NASCAR and is known for its sweeping corners and long straightaways.

The facility opened in 1968 and has hosted various major auto racing series throughout its existence, including NASCAR, CART, and IndyCar races.

The NASCAR Cup Series holds the FireKeepers Casino 400 at MIS, a 400-mile race that is a staple on the schedule.

Recent winners include Tyler Reddick in 2024, Chris Buescher in 2023, and Kevin Harvick in 2022. The track’s wide layout and high speeds often lead to exciting races with multiple grooves for passing.

NASCAR FireKeepers Casino 400 Head-to-Head Prediction

Ryan Blaney -125 over Christopher Bell

Michigan is typically a Ford track, and Bell has struggled mightily here. Blaney’s average finish the last 3 races here is 10.7 while Bell is outside the Top 24.

Blaney has been fast all year, but has had reliability issues, but last week he and his team put it all together for the win, and I feel the floodgates may have opened for him. Love him to play this week.

FireKeepers Casino 400 Winning Manufacturer Prediction

Ford +275 / Toyota +170

Chevy hasn’t won here since 2017 so we’ll put a unit on Ford and Toyota at these plus money prices, and if either wins we turn a profit.

Chevy has been great this year, but these prices are based on this year only, and not the track history which is very strong for Ford.
