Practice will be followed by the two-round NASCAR Cup Series qualifying session around the 2-mile oval in Brooklyn, Michigan at 1:20 PM ET on USA Network (NBC Sports App).
After the field is set for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan, the NASCAR Xfinity Series will prepare to battle it out in the Cabo Wabo 250. The NASCAR Xfinity Series pre-race show will commence at 3:00 PM ET on USA Network (NBC Sports App).
And the pre-race show will be followed by the official Cabo Wabo 250 race broadcast at 3:30 PM ET on USA Network (NBC Sports App).
