Contested over 133 of the scheduled 200 laps on the two-mile (3.2 km) D-shaped oval, it will be the 15th race of the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season. Clint Bowyer edges Harvick, seals rain-shortened win at Michigan. Bowyer got the lead under caution at the end of Stage 2 of Sunday’s FireKeepers Casino 400 when crew chief Mike Bugarewicz opted for two tires on the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford. Bowyer did the rest, holding off teammate Kevin Harvick after a restart on Lap 126, barely preventing Harvick, who had fresh rubber on all four corners of the car, from clearing him off Turn 2. Bowyer got the good fortune he needed when Ricky Stenhouse Jr. spun in Turn 2 on Lap 129, causing the eighth caution of the afternoon. Rain started almost immediately and soaked the track, forcing NASCAR to call the race after 133 of a scheduled 200 laps at the 2-mile track. That made Bowyer the winner of a Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race for the first time at Michigan and the second time this year. With pole winner Kurt Busch finishing third behind Bowyer and Harvick, Stewart-Haas pulled off its first 1-2-3 sweep in the organization’s history. 573519
