Michigan International Speedway
Michigan International Speedway has long been a favorite of drivers for its sweeping turns and multiple racing grooves.
Tucked away on 1,400-plus acres in the bucolic Irish Hills of Southeastern Michigan, MIS features 18 degrees of banking and 73-foot wide turns over its 2-mile layout.
The track has annually served as home to Michigan’s largest single-day, paid admission sporting events since 1991.
Former owner Roger Penske purchased the track in 1973 and spent millions on capital improvements. Grandstand capacity swelled from 25,000 to 125,000 during Penske’s 25-year tenure as owner.
International Speedway Corp., which purchased Penske Motorsports Inc. in 1999, continues as owner and operator of MIS.
