The FireKeepers 400 NASCAR race at Brooklyn, Mich., was suspended until Monday due to inclement weather. The race, which was delayed and interrupted by rain, reached Lap 51 of the 200-lap Cup race before cars went to pit road to wait for the weather to clear. The aim was to complete at least half of the race to make it official and avoid extending it to an extra day, as was the case last year at Michigan.

The race was scheduled to resume at 11 a.m. EDT on Monday after being halted on Sunday. Austin Dillon, amidst dark clouds during driver introductions, received some boos from the crowd. This came a week after his involvement in a wreck with Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin at Richmond Raceway.
