Chris Buescher remains the man to beat, earning back-to-back wins at Richmond and now Michigan.
It's the first time since 2010 that RFK Racing has won consecutive Cup races.
At Michigan, Buescher had to hold off a charging Martin Truex Jr., who further extends his advantage in the regular season championship. He leads Joe Gibbs Racing team-mate Denny Hamlin by 57pts. Truex also revealed at Michigan that he intends to return for the 2024 season.
Ty Gibbs holds the 16th and final spot in the playoffs, just three points ahead of Michael McDowell and five points clear of Daniel Suarez. Just three races remain until the playoffs begin.
It was announced this week that Front Row Motorsports will keep both Michael McDowell and Todd Gilliland for the 2024 season.
Tyler Reddick is defending winner at the Indianapolis RC, winning last year's race while driving for Richard Childress Racing.
This Sunday's event will feature several international racing stars from every corner of the motorsports world. Shane van Gisbergen is back in the Project91 Trackhouse Racing entry. He will be joined on track by fellow Supercars star Brodie Kostecki, Le Mans 24 winners Kamui Kobayashi and Mike Rockenfeller, as well as 2009 Formula 1 World Champion Jenson Button.
