The start of Sunday’s FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway is on hold because of rain.

The 400-miler for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series was scheduled for a green flag at 2:14 p.m. ET (FOX, MRN, SiriusXM), but early afternoon showers dampened the 2-mile track.

Once the event starts, Kurt Busch is set to lead the 39-car field to the green after winning the Busch Pole in Friday’s qualifying.
