Michigan International Speedway (MIS) is a 2-mile moderate-banked D-shaped speedway. Michigan is the fastest track in NASCAR due to its wide, sweeping corners, long straightaways, and lack of a restrictor plate requirement; typical qualifying speeds are in excess of 200 mph and corner entry speeds are anywhere from 215 to 220 mph after the 2012 repaving of the track.
Groundbreaking took place on September 28, 1967. Over 2.5 million cubic yards (1,900,000 m3) of dirt were moved to form the D-shaped oval. The track opened in 1968 with a total capacity of 25,000 seats. Its first race took place on Sunday, October 13, 1968. Over the years many changes and repavements were made to the track. On January 28, 2019, it was revealed that the speedway's track seating was reduced from 71,000 to 56,000.
Pick your five fastest drivers for this track.

Ilene, thanks again for your efforts in supplying some history on each track...interesting data. Kinda strange how the "fastest track in na$car" has moved from Daytona to Talledega to Atlanta and now Michigan. Have there been other tracks in between those?
