Groundbreaking took place on Sept. 28, 1967. More than 2.5 million yards of dirt were moved to form the D-shaped oval.

Charles Moneypenny, who had designed the 2.5-mile Daytona International Speedway, designed the Michigan oval.

MIS, when the track is not freeze-broken, is a great track. Not a bad seat in the house, very wide.

I have seen Indy cars 4 wide in the turns, and stock cars 5 wide.

They used to have "Twin 200's", a 200 mile Indy car race, followed immediately by a 200 mile USAC stocker race. Short enough races that there was no laying back...just balls-to-the-wall for 100 laps. And most of the Indy drivers drove stockers too.

Great track, great racing.

I have been watching almost every minute of the 24 Hours of Le Mans on SPEED channel since yesterday morning, I have it recorded on my DVR, down to the 4 hour mark right now.

Its a shame nobody mentioned this on FR, it was by no means boring, wrecks and equipment failures were constant, new technology from hybrids to diesels to even the Nissan Delta Wing car.

I have had more entertainment from this race than the last couple of Nascar races.
