NASCAR goes to Michigan: Better weather for Sunday's Sprint Cup test bed

Had enough rain? NASCAR is through with it as it heads to Michigan for this week's races. Except …

Yeah, there's a chance a thunderstorm or two might be a nuisance on Saturday, but Sunday's race day should bring pretty nice weather to Brooklyn, Mich., and its environs.

NASCAR had to postpone last weekend's race and stage a rare Monday running for its Sprint Cup Series. Kurt Busch didn't mind, since he won for the first time this season.

Trouble is, a day's delay means a shorter turnaround time for teams. And this week's race brings a test of car changes intended to reduce downforce and side force.
