Slumping Kyle Larson looks to rebound with his third straight win at Michigan International Speedway

NASCAR heads to Michigan International Speedway this weekend with just four races remaining in the Cup Series regular season. While drivers like last week's winner Martin Truex Jr. and June Michigan winner Kyle Larson look to add more playoff points, there is a handful of notably popular drivers on the circuit who have yet to clinch a shot at a title.

One of those is NASCAR's most popular driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr., who will be going for his first win of the season Sunday after finishing last at Watkins Glen. Fortunately for Junior, he has two wins, eight top fives, 15 top 10s and a career 15.6 average finish at Michigan. Even if Earnhardt can't pull off a win this week, he has wins at both upcoming tracks, Bristol and Richmond.

I've had some incredible memories at @MISpeedway over the years. The wins in 2008 & 2012 with @TeamHendrick were very special! #Appreci88ion pic.twitter.com/CAkPEVHWPf

Another driver on the outside of the playoffs looking in is Michigan native Erik Jones. Jones has been impressive enough to earn a spot in the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota next season and finished 13th in his lone Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race in the Wolverine State earlier this season. While he's not necessarily the favorite to make the playoffs, Jones could play spoiler to guys currently in on merit alone like Chase Elliott, Matt Kenseth and Jamie McMurray.

Brad Keselowski is the other Michigan native looking for a win in his home state. He'll have a good shot after winning the pole. The 2012 NASCAR Cup champion hails from Rochester Hills and has five top fives, eight top 10s and a 12.6 average finish with no wins at Michigan. He will line up on the front row Sunday alongside Joey Logano, who desperately needs a win.
