Michigan International Speedway, NASCAR racing track in Brooklyn, Michigan, United States
Michigan International Speedway is an oval racing circuit near Brooklyn in Michigan. The pavement runs for 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) and the grandstands seat roughly 47,000 spectators.
The circuit opened in 1968 and quickly established itself as a major venue for stock car racing. NASCAR events have shaped the schedule over the decades.
The name connects the track directly to Michigan's role as an automotive manufacturing center. Visitors experience the roar and speed of different racing series that rotate through the calendar year.
Camping areas on the grounds let visitors stay overnight beside the track. The location roughly 70 miles west of Detroit makes the drive straightforward.
The straightaways stretch more than 2,600 feet (792 meters) and the turns are wide enough for several drivers to race side by side through them. These features often lead to tight passing moves right before the finish.
