Qualifying speeds on the straightaways can easily exceed 200 mph.

 

When Michigan first opened in 1968, it had a grand total of 25,000 seats. In 1972, Roger Penske purchased the track and over the years continually to upgrade the seating capacity to 125,000. In 1999, the Michigan International Speedway was purchased by the International Speedway Corporation who is still the current owner. ISC continues to improve MIS – in 2008 it will feature a new scoreboard, 300 new campsites along with improved turn one seating.
