Located southeast of the Motor City, in Brooklyn, MI, the Michigan International Speedway is considered to be one of racing's finest tracks. The two mile oval, designed by Charles Moneypenny, he also designed the Daytona International Speedway, was built in 1968, and is home to some of the most exciting moments in NASCAR history.
From the very first NASCAR race held there in 1969 when Cale Yarborough battled Lee Roy Yarbrough to a stunning last turn victory, to Dale Jarrett's first career Cup win in 1991, through several ownership changes, major structural changes and renovations, the last one coming in 2005, the Michigan International Speedway has grown and evolved right along with NASCAR and NASCAR fans.
Sitting on over 1400 acres, Michigan International Speedway is Michigan's largest sporting events complex and with the various renovations through the years and the recent updates, it is a racing fan's dream. There isn't a bad seat in the house and the wide, open track keeps drivers in the race and out of the pits.
Today, with the total seating capacity at 137,000 plus, race fans can take advantage of new entry gates, more concession stands and a host of other new amenities. It's a great to place to watch a NASCAR race. This year's 3M Performance 400 should be an exciting race for both fans and drivers. NASCAR at it's best!
Last year Kasey Kahne won his fourth race of the season in his No. 9 Dodge Charger and jumped to third place in the point standings. Changes to the point system this year make every race a factor. And, the later it gets in the season, the more critical a victory will become. This year's 3M Performance 400 just might be the race that catapults a driver into the Chase. Or, it might be the race that knocks one out. Either way, you don't want to miss the 2007 3M Performance 400.
