Has the NASCAR Nextel Cup (or Winston Cup) Series ever run a race on a Tuesday (with the exception of the race tomorrow at Michigan)?

Actually, a Talladega race in 1997 was run on Tuesday after it was postponed twice.
If they don't get the full race in by 11:59 pm on Wednesday, they will have to reschedule it for the end of the year. The only time that's happened was the New Hampshire 2001 race, which was postponed because of the September 11th terrorist attacks.

The last official Tuesday race was when the Firecracker 400 was run on the 4th of July.
In the premodern era NASCAR ran on Tuesday,Wednesday and Thursday nights at small 1/4 or 1/3 mile bullrings and venues.

It will be the first time in the Series' modern era (from 1973) that a race will be run on a Tuesday.
It's also the first time a race has been postponed twice since the 1997 DieHard 500

Yes, I believe once, but not sure when.
