NASS Presents: The LG 300 at Michigan Raceway

LG 300

Hello race fans and welcome to the LG 300 Night race at Michigan International Speedway! Speeds have hit up to 230 MPH entering the turns today, and we’re looking forward to some exciting action! The big story heading into today is some teams have been reinstated their place in the series, so there sre more drivers racing than at Talladega.

Michigan is the fastest oval on the NASS Calendar, speeds here are ridiculously high and a crash could be life changing! Drivers need to keep their wits about them!

Here is the current qualifying order presented by LG.

36 people start this race, even though we're missing the qualifying data for some entries. Perhaps you guys can find out who I missed. Despite this:
