The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series hits Michigan International Speedway this weekend, with qualifying taking place on Saturday, June 7, ahead of the FireKeepers Casino 400.

The action this weekend comes after a trip to Nashville last time out, where Ryan Blaney locked himself into the playoffs with a victory in the Cracker Barrel 400, beating Carson Hocevar in second and Denny Hamlin in third.

Last year at Michigan International Speedway, 23XI Racing star Tyler Reddick came out on top, fending off the likes of William Byron and Ty Gibbs that day to win in overtime.

Interestingly, it wasn't Reddick who had qualified on pole that weekend; with that honor having gone to Hamlin in the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.

Reddick qualified second, and Christopher Bell third, which meant that last year's top three in qualifying were all Toyota vehicles, and it will certainly be interesting to see how the manufacturer dynamic plays out at the 2-mile oval this time around.

With that said, let's take a look at the details you need to know ahead of Saturday's qualifying action.
