The race was held at Michigan International Speedway, a two-mile (3.2 km) moderate-banked D-shaped speedway located in Brooklyn, Michigan. The track is used primarily for NASCAR events. It is known as a "sister track" to Texas World Speedway as MIS's oval design was a direct basis of TWS, with moderate modifications to the banking in the corners, and was used as the basis of Auto Club Speedway. The track is owned by International Speedway Corporation. Michigan International Speedway is recognized as one of motorsports' premier facilities because of its wide racing surface and high banking (by open-wheel standards; the 18-degree banking is modest by stock car standards).

Starting lineup

Qualifying was scheduled to occur on Saturday, June 9, at 10:05 AM EST. [3] Since Michigan International Speedway is at least 2 miles (3.2 km), the qualifying system was a single car, single lap, two round system where in the first round, everyone would set a time to determine positions 13-40. Then, the fastest 12 qualifiers would move on to the second round to determine positions 1-12. [5]

However, rain would cancel qualifying, and the starting lineup was therefore made by the rulebook, with the top 30 set by owner's points and positions 31-40 set by champion's provisionals and owner attempts. As a result, Kyle Busch of Joe Gibbs Racing would win the pole. [6]

No drivers would fail to qualify.
