The NASCAR Cup Series takes a pit stop in Michigan during the final few weeks of the regular season. After the Cook Out 400 chaos a week ago, the season moves forward as normal, but there is also a shakeup in the standings at the top of the landscape.

While Kyle Larson remains in the top spot, Tyler Reddick leapfrogged Chase Elliott to claim the No. 2 spot with just weeks to go in the regular season. To make matters even murkier, Austin Dillon's actions certainly impact the integrity of the races moving forward, whether fans agree or disagree with his post-race claims.

The Michigan race will prove important given that the 16 best drivers make the postseason field. Therefore, every lap and timestamp matters, especially considering the fall playoff push will separate the pretenders from the contenders for a championship.

Drivers took to the track Sunday after a rain delay but were able to complete only 51 of the scheduled 200 laps. Racing will resume Monday morning at MIS.
