Michigan – No

NASCAR at Michigan has a long history. On race day you never know what’s going to happen.

The race could come down to fuel mileage or a green, white, checkered shootout. Speeds are also a huge draw to Michigan as the two-mile track is the largest oval not requiring restrictor plates. That being said the racing can also get spread out and cause the two 400 mile events to drag on. This can include long green flag runs and few cautions to shake things up.

While Michigan is a track that defiantly deserves a spot on the schedule it doesn’t deserve two races each year.
