NASCAR Cup Series 2020 27 2020-08-09 2020-08-09 https://r2.thesportsdb.com/images/media/event/thumb/08mtcb1597143850.jpg https://r2.thesportsdb.com/images/media/event/poster/06i78t1597143835.jpg The 2020 Consumers Energy 400 was a NASCAR Cup Series race held on August 9, 2020, and was held over 500 kilometers (312 miles), shortened by 44 laps from the original distance because of modified NASCAR rules for doubleheader races, one of three Cup Series events to be run under the doubleheader format; however, the race retained the original 400-mile name. It was the 22nd race of the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series season. Kevin Harvick’s victory in Sunday’s Consumers Energy 400 at Michigan International Speedway gave the No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford team a weekend race sweep as the NASCAR Cup Series closes out its regular-season schedule at the end of this month. Harvick’s win is a series-best sixth of the season and 55th of his career – placing the 44-year-old Californian in 10th on the NASCAR Cup Series all-time wins list, tied with NASCAR Hall of Famer Rusty Wallace. Sunday marked the first time since 1971 (Richard Petty) that a driver has won back-to-back NASCAR Cup Series races on back-to-back days. 1003481
