A Peek at the Speedway: 130 mph in the Pace Car:


Michigan International Speedway (MIS)
- Two-mile moderate-banked D-shaped 
speedway located off U.S. Highway 12 
- On more than 1,400 acres near Onsted
, MI 
- The track is used primarily for 
NASCAR events
- It is sometimes known as a "sister track" to 
Texas World Speedway
- The track is currently owned by 
International Speedway Corporation (ISC).
- Michigan International Speedway is recognized as one of motorsports' premier facilities because of its wide racing surface and high banking

"
Michigan is currently the fastest track in NASCAR due to its wide, sweeping corners and long straightaways; typical qualifying speeds are in excess of 200 MPH (320 km/h) and corner entry speeds are anywhere from 215 to 220 mph (346 to 350 km/h) after the 2012 repaving of the track."
