Contents

Defending series champion Tyler Reddick (Richard Childress Racing) took his third victory in five races, taking the lead from Cole Custer (Stewart–Haas Racing with Biagi–DenBeste Racing) with eleven laps remaining and pulled clear of JR Motorsports teammates Noah Gragson and Michael Annett, while Custer faded to twelfth place.

Background

Track

Michigan International Speedway is a moderate-banked D-shaped speedway located in Brooklyn, Michigan. The track is used primarily for NASCAR events. It is sometimes known as a "sister track" to Texas World Speedway, 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).
