Kasey Kahne and Greg Biffle will be back at it on Sunday, representing the state of Washington as the 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series rolls merrily along with the Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway. While Kahne continues to gain ground in the standings, this will be Biffle's first race in months where he hasn't entered as the overall Sprint Cup points leader.
The Washingtonians have to be pleased with their placement in Sunday's starting lineup, as Biffle is at No. 3 and Kahne is at No. 4 as the green flag drops. Pole-sitter Marcos Ambrose posted the fastest qualifying lap in 25 years to win the No. 1 position.
The green flag is expected to wave at 10:16 a.m. PT on Sunday. The race will be televised on TNT for the second time this season. There IS live streaming of the race today, which can be found at NASCAR.com's "RaceBuddy" site.
