Last week we saw some controversy, crashes, and overall mediocre racing in some peoples eyes at Nashville. In the end it was Ryan Blaney who came home with his first win of 2025. Now, we head up north to a track for a manufacture showdown, Michigan. Down below you will find different statistics for active drivers and Next Gen races of the NASCAR Cup series here at Michigan International Speedway ranging from Most Wins to Best Average Finishes by starting position in the Next Gen era. So read and enjoy these fun fact track stats!
In this post you will only find active and Next Gen stats, if you are looking for all-time stats check out my previous article All-Time Cup Track Stats: Michigan.
Active means any driver who started a race in the 2025 Cup Series season.
