A first in NASCAR history will allow campers to be even closer to the drivers
BROOKLYN, Mich. (May 22, 2017) — The MISCAMPING.com Infield Campground at Michigan International Speedway will host 40 special guests moments before the green flag waves for the FireKeepers Casino 400 on June 18. For the first time in NASCAR history, the driver parade lap will make its way through the MISCAMPING.com Infield Campground as part of pre-race festivities.
“One of the greatest elements in NASCAR is the accessibility of the drivers to the fans, and this is another great opportunity for us to bring the drivers closer just minutes before they take the green flag,” track president Rick Brenner said. “Between the added entertainment and now the driver parade lap, the infield is going to be the go-to campground for our guests.”
The parade lap will begin at the pre-race stage at the start/finish line on the frontstretch. The trucks will continue around the track and will get close to the inside wall on the backstretch. The trucks will take a sharp left turn into the infield in Turn 3, then the drivers will continue through the infield before exiting in Turn 4. Fans are invited to line the route to cheer on their favorite driver up close.
