Michigan International Speedway

Located in the scenic Irish Hills of Brooklyn, Michigan, Michigan International Speedway (MIS) is a 2-mile, D-shaped superspeedway that opened in 1968. Designed by Charles Moneypenny, who also designed Daytona, the track is known for its wide racing surface and high speeds, a result of its 18-degree banking in the corners. The track's width allows for multi-groove racing, where drivers can run several different lines to find speed. MIS has been a staple on the NASCAR calendar for over 50 years and has also hosted numerous IndyCar races, where its high speeds have produced world record-setting laps. Owned for many years by Roger Penske, the track has a rich history of memorable finishes and has been a favorite of both drivers and fans.
