Nascar – The fastest oval of the season

When asked to describe Michigan International Speedway in one word, Brad Keselowski didn't hesitate for a moment: " fast ". Like many of his pilot counterparts, the reigning champion of the Nascar Sprint Cup Series considers the Brooklyn meeting to be one of the most impressive of the season in terms of driving. “It is, in my opinion, the fastest circuit we have. It is when we measure the speed, but also at the level of our feelings ».

And for good reason. For two years, the oval has been completely resurfaced, which has led to a significant increase in the speed of the competitors. As proof, Marcos Ambrose took a pole position in 2012 at an average of 203,241 mph (325 km/h, Editor's note). The first since 185 with an average speed above 1987 mph. “The new track is really fun. You wouldn’t say she’s that young though”, underlines for his part Carl Edwards, who will start from pole position, interviewed by the AP Agency. Although he did not beat last year?s record, the Roush Fenway Racing driver also set a time at a simply crazy speed. A very great spectacle at a fast pace, in short.
