BROOKLYN, Mich. — It only took 25 laps in Sunday’s Firekeepers Casino 400 NASCAR Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway for several drivers to lose a shot at a win. Aric Almirola, Austin Cindric and Kurt Busch were among those caught in a chaotic crash on lap 25 of 200 after restarting mid-pack following the lap-21 competition caution. While Almirola was unsure of how the crash was initiated — he only remembers being hit in the left rear of his No. They were trying to race, it’s just the cars in the middle of the pack that are trying to race that really, quite frankly, aren’t at the same level,” Cindric said. “It’s just a byproduct of a crazy restart with 300 miles left in the race.”.
