Michigan International Speedway's new suites are sweet

As the official feature reporter of NASCAR this summer (If you're thinking that's interesting, you're on the right track), I had the opportunity to tour the new suites, along with about 30 other male reporters and photographers. Let's just say I stood out. But it was a cool experience to see what they were all excited about. We were shown the new suites and media center that together cost $17 million. And they were pretty fancy with lots of gadgets. If you think I look a little out of place in the picture below, you're probably right, but it was a fun experience either way. Boys and their cars... I may never understand it.

Anyways, my story explained the new look at MIS. And it must be a big deal to the people of Jackson, because it was front page news.

Michigan International Speedway unveils $17 million project
By Sarah Schuch

Michigan International Speedway has a new, upscale rustic look to its pit road suites and media center.

The $17 million project that began in August will be complete next week, in plenty of time for the track’s first event weekend June 11-13.

The NASCAR brand can be seen throughout the project. There is a feeling of being outdoors, with earth tones and added touches of a national park, MIS President Roger Curtis said.
