Michigan International Speedway continues to enhance the fan experience at the track with nonstop entertainment and new amenities. In 2019, the track will construct a new scoreboard in the middle of the infield to add another dimension to the race experience.
The new 150-foot high scoreboard will include screens on all four sides. The scoreboard will have four gigantic video screens at the bottom capable of showing replays of the action or showcase the events at Michigan International Speedway. The 12-foot high by 19-foot wide screens will be at the base of the leaderboard, approximately 44 feet above the ground.
“We continue to make enhancements to the facility to improve the experience for the fans on race weekends,” MIS President Rick Brenner said. “We are excited to install a new scoreboard that will allow us to show videos and highlight the leaders at the same time.”
The new leaderboard stretches 72 feet above the video screen and will totally encase all four sides. The all new digital leaderboard will show the top 15 positions. At the bottom, the final two position will scroll through everybody in the race. The top of the leaderboard will feature a four-foot section that will be able to show the lap number of the race or the top speed in practice and qualifying.
The track continues to add amenities and entertainment to make the track a summertime destination. The new scoreboard highlights the track’s dedication to making it NASCAR’s Most Entertaining Track.
