Background
thumb|The layout of Michigan International Speedway, the circuit where the race was held.
Michigan International Speedway (MIS) is a 2 mi km on moderate-banked D-shaped speedway located approximately four miles (6.4 km) south of the village of Brooklyn, Michigan, United States. Situated on more than 1400 acre km2 onAbout MIS http://www.michiganspeedway.com/track%5Finfo/about%5Fmis May 17, 2013 Michigan International Speedway in the scenic Irish Hills area of southeastern Michigan, the track is 70 miles (110 km) west of the center of Detroit, 40 miles (64 km) from Ann Arbor, and 60 mi km south and northwest of Lansing, Michigan and Toledo, Ohio, respectively. MIS is used primarily for NASCAR events. It is sometimes known as a sister track to Texas World Speedway, and was used as the basis of Auto Club Speedway. The track is owned by NASCAR. 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). January 2024
Michigan is the fastest track in NASCAR due to its wide, sweeping corners, long straightaways, and lack of a restrictor plate requirement; typical qualifying speeds are in excess of 200 mph km/h on and corner entry speeds are anywhere from 215 to 220 mph on km/h after the 2012 repaving of the track.
