Michigan International Speedway

Michigan International Speedwayis a two-mile (3.22-km) moderate-banked D-shaped superspeedway located off U.S Highway 12 on more than 1,400 acres (5.7 km2) near Brooklyn, in the scenic Irish Hills area of southeastern Michigan. The track is used primarily for NASCAR events. It is sometimes known as a “sister track” Texas World Speedway, and was used as the basis of Auto Club Speedway.   

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 (310 km/h) and corner entry speeds easily exceed 200 mph (320 km/h).
