What TV channel is NASCAR Cup race on today? Live stream, how to watch online
NASCAR Cup’s FireKeepers Casino 400 in Michigan is set for Sunday, August 6. The race will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).
Kevin Harvick has fond memories of Michigan International Speedway, where he won for the sixth time last summer.
Harvick is just not real interested in waxing poetically about the track before making one last run on it Sunday in the FireKeepers Casino 400.
“Michigan has been a great place for us, but when we leave it’s over,” he said. “I’m not coming back.”
It’s not personal. It’s business.
While the 47-year-old Harvick may return to the Irish Hills region of southern Michigan as a TV analyst and potentially for his managing and marketing company, he has no plans to race on the two-mile oval again in the future.
The 2014 Cup champion announced in January he’s retiring after this year.
“If I would’ve had it my way, I would’ve just been done last year,” he said.
Harvick came back because he knows it’s not just about him, considering the people on his team that count on him for their careers and the many fans who have helped him become rich and famous.
Harvick is No. 6 in the Cup standings, but he hasn’t finished first in a race since his 60th and last Cup victory at Michigan last year ended a 65-race winless drought.
NASCAR’s FireKeepers Casino 400 is set for 1:30 p.m. (2:30 p.m. ET) on Sunday, Aug. 6.
Wimbledon will be live streamed on fuboTV, which offers a free trial. The most basic of plans is the “fubo pro” package, which comprises 146-plus channels for $74.99 per month. Like all cord-cutting alternatives, there are plenty of options, especially for sports. It comes with more than 1,000 hours of cloud-based DVR, and up to 10 screens at once.
There is also the “fubo elite” package, which comprises 205-plus channels for $84.99 per month. It comes with fuboExtra (48 more channels) and News Plus (11 more channels). Plus, more than 1,000 hours of cloud-based DVR, and up to 10 screens at once.
The “fubo premiere” package is “fubo elite” with the addition of Showtime for $94.99 per month.
The FireKeepers Casino 400 in Michigan will be broadcast on USA Network.
THE GRID: Christopher Bell won his second pole of the season, and the sixth of his career. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver, in the No. 20 Toyota, turned a lap at 193.382 mph for the fastest qualifying performance since the Daytona 500 in 2020.
Bell is hoping his fast car can help him finish well after placing 18th or lower in four of his last five races.
Ross Chastain of Trackhouse Racing will start second followed by rookie Ty Gibbs, who drives for his grandfather’s team, Joe Gibbs racing.
Chris Buescher of RFK Racing qualified fourth, coming off a win at Richmond that gave him the 12th of 16 spots in the postseason. Points leader Martin Truex Jr. will start the 200-lap race fifth in the 37-car field.
SUSPENDED: Legacy Motor Club driver Noah Gragson was suspended indefinitely by NASCAR and his team for liking an insensitive meme with a photo of George Floyd’s face on social media. Josh Berry will be in the No. 42 Chevrolet in Gragson’s place.
COMING BACK: Truex is returning for another run, signing a deal to continue competing for Joe Gibbs Racing next year.
The 43-year-old Truex has not shown signs of slowing down, winning three times. Like Truex did last year, though, he took his time making a decision about his future after publicly pondered retirement.
FORD TOUGH: Ford Motor Co. has won eight straight races at Michigan since Kyle Larson won a third straight race in a Chevrolet at the tack in 2017.
ODDS AND ENDS: Truex is the betting favorite Sunday, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
