I was at this race last year as well. I was in the 400's by Pit Exit. What incredible atmosphere all day long.

Looks like a lot of fun!! I’m Canadian & live in Windsor,Ontario, Canada which is right across the river from Detroit. The nearest Nascar track for us is the wicked fast 2 mile super speedway at “Michigan International Speedway” which is D-shaped. That is a true horse power track with no restricter plate & for awhile there with the package they were running drivers were hitting around 210mph going into turns 1 & 3.

Great audio. There is one thing louder than a full field of stock cars. "One" Top Fuel car.

Someone shot the final 2 laps at autoclub speedway ...from the infield but it's still the best to see an entire lap or two from one camera especially from a grandstand seat. Idk why the broadcasts don't do that...lose the " crank it up" or whatever fake stuff they do and just give tv viewers a few minutes of the fan's perspective. Loved watching this

They don't even do Crank It Up anymore, they rarely show how fast the cars are going either. But it is what it is. I listen to MRN or PRN and just watch the broadcast on TV, I don't listen to their BS.

The thunderbirds got off last year. This was very close to where I was sitting
