760 AM-WJR-Detroit for traffic updates
Michigan International Speedway is located on U.S. Highway 12 in Brooklyn, Michigan, one mile west of M-50.
Directions: From Detroit Metro Airport: Take I-94 West to Highway 12 West (Exit 181A). Track is located one mile west of U.S.12 and M-50. Local knowledge says take the Grass Lake exit off Interstate 94, (Exit 150) and take Wolf Lake Road into the circuit... there's a gas station on the Grass Lake Exit, make sure you top off before hitting weekend traffic, which can drop to less than a crawl for 20 miles around the race track on big race days. grandprixcities.co

INBOUND TRAFFIC PATTERNS 2009: MAP
To assist motorists and race fans, MDOT is posting MIS race day travel information on the web, including maps and information about statewide construction projects, changes to the outbound traffic pattern, and links to the web site of WRIF (101.1 FM), the number one source of traffic at MIS. Motorists can find information online at: www.michigan.gov/mdot or www.michigan.gov/drive
06/24/07 BLACK FLAG FROM JIM B: The distance from MIS to the highway is 33 miles, on monday, it took us from 11am until 2ish, that is correct 3 hours to go 33miles. A bag of ice went from $5 to $8 in 1 year, a 15X25 camp site, owned by MIS goes for $150 for the week, in 1 year there are now less showers, less portable toilets, and more people. I am mad just remembering what went on
