The eleventh race of the season brings us here, to Michigan International Speedway, a circuit first used by the Indy Racing League in 2002.
Eighteen degrees of banking combined with seventy-three foot wide sweeping turns provides drivers with up to four grooves running around the two-mile speedway.
Small wing, low downforce wing configurations are used here, as speed is of the essence, and too much downforce is a hindrance on this fast track.
All this combines to ensure that races at Michigan are wide open and very fast, making it one of the most thrilling circuits on the IRL calendar.
