Qualifying orders set for 2026 weekend at Michigan International Speedway

Michigan International Speedway is preparing for the roar of engines this weekend as the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series make their annual pilgrimage to the Irish Hills. It is a massive weekend of racing that starts with the ARCA Menards Series on Friday and builds to the main event, the FireKeepers Casino 400, on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET.

Saturday is the day where precision matters most. The Craftsman Truck Series sets the pace early, with practice starting at 9:30 a.m. ET followed by single-truck qualifying at 10:35 a.m. ET. Later that evening, the Cup Series machines take to the track for their own practice session at 5 p.m. ET, leading into single-car qualifying at 6:10 p.m. ET.
