Michigan International Speedway is a two-mile moderate-banked D-shaped superspeedway located off U.S. Highway 12 on more than 1,400 acres near Brooklyn Michigan, in the scenic Irish Hills area of southeastern Michigan. The track is used primarily for NASCAR events. Michigan International Speedway is recognized as one of motorsports' premier facilities because of its wide racing surface and high banking. Also a unique set of grandstands sets it apart from the others.
Michigan is now one of the fastest tracks in NASCAR due to its wide, sweeping corners and long straightaways; typical qualifying speeds are in excess of 190 mph and corner entry speeds easily exceed 200 mph! Source |
