The 2025 FireKeepers Casino 400 was a NASCAR Cup Series race held on June 8, 2025, at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan. Contested over 200 laps on the two-mile (3.2 km) D-shaped oval, it was the 15th race of the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season and the first of three seeding races for the inaugural NASCAR In-Season Challenge.

Denny Hamlin won the race. Chris Buescher finished 2nd, and Ty Gibbs finished 3rd. Bubba Wallace and Kyle Larson rounded out the top five, and Ross Chastain, Zane Smith, Kyle Busch, Ryan Preece, and Brad Keselowski rounded out the top ten.

Michigan International Speedway, the track where the race was held.

The race was held at Michigan International Speedway, a two-mile (3.2 km) moderate-banked D-shaped speedway located in Brooklyn, Michigan. The track is used primarily for NASCAR events. It is known as a "sister track" to Texas World Speedway as MIS's oval design was a direct basis of TWS, with moderate modifications to the banking in the corners, and was used as the basis of Auto Club Speedway. The track is owned by International Speedway Corporation. Michigan International Speedway is recognized as one of motorsports' premier facilities because of its wide racing surface and high banking (by open-wheel standards; the 18-degree banking is modest by stock car standards).
