NASCAR 2017: Live scoring, TV, live streaming, updates for Pure Michigan 400 – cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Pure Michigan 400 is one of NASCAR’s last three-day events as the series has started to compress the traditional race weekend from three days to two.

The race is scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday on NBCSN. Qualifying is Friday at 5:05 p.m. on NBCSN. You can get live scoring and updates at NASCAR’s Race Center and live streaming at NBCsports.com/live.

These are changing times at NASCAR. While the upcoming retirement of Dale Earnhardt Jr. has captured most of the headlines, many other drivers have already been told they will not have rides for next season while Danica Patrick andĀ Kasey Kahne are unsure of their status beyond this season.

The focus now lasers in on the 2017 NASCAR Championship, which begins with The Chase on Sept. 17 at Chicagoland Speedway. Most of the 16-car championship field is set. But three spots remain, either by winning at Michigan, Bristol, Darlington or Richmond, or by being the winless drivers with the most points.

Chase Elliott, Jamie McMurray, Matt Kenneth, Clint Bowyer — shy of victory — are in a battle for the last three spots.
