NASCAR has a long and storied history with Michigan International Speedway dating back to the 1969 season. Since that point, the NASCAR Cup Series has competed in a staggering 106 races. However, which NASCAR driver has the most wins at Michigan? The answer won’t surprise you due to their previous success in the sport.
[autotag]David Pearson[/autotag] has nine victories at Michigan, making him the most successful driver at the track in NASCAR history. Pearson is the only driver to have nine Cup Series victories at the venue, as Cale Yarborough sits alone in second place with eight wins. Pearson’s last win at Michigan came in 1978, with an insane stretch of seven wins in nine races from 1972 to 1976.
As for the active NASCAR driver with the most wins at Michigan, Kyle Larson and Joey Logano hold the lead with three victories. The next closest driver is Denny Hamlin, who has two wins, so Larson and Logano’s place at the top of the current winners at Michigan is under pressure. For now, one of those drivers will look to extend their lead on the competition this weekend.
