Rumors swirled across the NASCAR community this week after driver Corey LaJoie mentioned the possibility of the NASCAR Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway being moved to Saturday due to looming weather concerns. The speculation quickly caught the attention of fans and media alike, fueling uncertainty around the weekend’s schedule.
However, NASCAR has stepped in to clear the air.
Despite the chatter, officials from the sport have confirmed that the Cup Series race at MIS will proceed as originally planned on Sunday, putting to rest any talk of a schedule shift.
LaJoie’s comment sparked debate among fans and insiders, especially with recent race weekends across the country being affected by rain delays and reschedules. With Michigan’s unpredictable early-summer weather patterns, concerns about potential thunderstorms were not unfounded.
Still, NASCAR’s confirmation brings clarity for teams, fans, and broadcasters preparing for race day. The Sunday event at Michigan remains a key race in the summer stretch of the season, with playoff implications looming and teams pushing hard for momentum.
As of now, all eyes remain on the skies — but fans can rest assured: the green flag is set to drop on Sunday.
