With three races remaining in the NASCAR Cup Series regular season, Kyle Larson will try to keep his hold on first place in the standings when he competes at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday in the 2024 FireKeepers Casino 400. Larson, who has recorded a series-leading four victories this year, owns a five-point lead over Tyler Reddick and is six ahead of Chase Elliott. The 2021 Cup Series regular-season and overall champion is tied with Joey Logano for the most wins at Michigan among active drivers with three. He has finished seventh or better in his last four starts at the track. 

Larson and Denny Hamlin are 6-1 co-favorites in the 2024 FireKeepers Casino 400 odds. Ryan Blaney is 13-2 and Reddick is 7-1, while Brad Keselowski is 9-1 in the 2024 NASCAR at Michigan odds. Hamlin will be on the pole. Sunday's race is scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. ET.

Before making any NASCAR at Michigan picks, be sure to see what CBS Sports NASCAR writer Steven Taranto has to say.

Taranto, who moonlights as a sim racer and has 20 career wins in iRacing, is the lead NASCAR writer for CBSSports.com, and he chronicles stock car racing with the same thoroughness and passion that he's had since becoming a full-time race fan in 2001. He has an annual NASCAR media credential and also publishes a popular weekly NASCAR predictions column, famously calling Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez's breakthrough wins in 2022. Taranto has been red-hot for SportsLine in 2024 as he has nailed 11 winners, including 16-1 longshot William Byron at the Daytona 500 and 14-1 longshot Elliott at Texas. Anybody following his NASCAR picks has seen HUGE returns!

For the 2024 FireKeepers Casino 400, we can tell you Taranto is high on Bubba Wallace, even though he's a 20-1 longshot. Another curveball: He's fading Chris Buescher (14-1), even though he won this race last year. "If you take away his win a year ago, Buescher only has one other Michigan top 10, a sixth in 2017," Taranto told SportsLine. "Unless his team can figure out something quickly to stem his summertime slide and get him back to the form that he showed in May when he almost won Kansas and Darlington, I would stay away from betting on Buescher this weekend."

Taranto also locked in four more FireKeepers Casino 400 best bets and is high on a MAJOR longshot who is going off over 25-1! You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before locking in any NASCAR picks of your own.
