BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — The Latest on NASCAR’s Cup Series race at Michigan (all times local):

The start of Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race is being delayed by rain.

The bad weather isn’t a huge surprise after Saturday’s Xfinity race was shortened by rain. Xfinity qualifying was canceled Saturday and so was a Cup practice.

Kyle Larson has won three straight Cup races at Michigan, but he was only 26th in qualifying. Kurt Busch won the pole Friday.

Kyle Larson has won three straight NASCAR Cup Series races at Michigan. He’ll try to make it four in a row Sunday.

Larson was only 26th in qualifying. Kurt Busch won the pole Friday.

Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick have combined to win nine of the 14 races this year on the Cup circuit. Brad Keselowski is still winless and would love to break that drought in his home state at Michigan International Speedway. He’s never won a Cup race at MIS.

The weather could be an issue again Sunday. The Xfinity race Saturday was shortened because of rain.
