Kasey Kahne won the rain-shortened race. Michigan International Speedway is a two-mile moderate-banked D-shaped superspeedway near Brooklyn, in the scenic Irish Hills area of southeastern Michigan. Michigan International Speedway is recognized as one of motorsports' premier facilities because of its wide racing surface and high banking (to open-wheel standards; the 18-degree banking is modest to stock car standards).
Michigan is now one of the fastest tracks in NASCAR due to its wide, sweeping corners and long straightaways; typical qualifying speeds are in excess of 190 mph and corner entry speeds easily exceed 200 mph.
