There’s been a huge increase in Michigan International Speedway pole speeds this year. Is it the biggest increase ever?
The red arrows indicate the first race after a repave. The pole speed for the Cup race is 12.9 mph more than last year’s pole speed. The previous record for the largest year-to-year change in pole speed is 6.5 mph.
