The race was held at Michigan International Speedway, a two-mile (3.2 km) moderate-banked D-shaped speedway located in Brooklyn, Michigan. The track is used primarily for NASCAR events. It is known as a "sister track" to Texas World Speedway as MIS's oval design was a direct basis of TWS, with moderate modifications to the banking in the corners, and was used as the basis of Auto Club Speedway. The track is owned by International Speedway Corporation. Michigan International Speedway is recognized as one of motorsports' premier facilities because of its wide racing surface and high banking (by open-wheel standards; the 18-degree banking is modest by stock car standards).
The first practice session was originally scheduled to be held on Friday, August 20, at 11:00 AM EST, and would have lasted for an hour and 50 minutes. However, rain would delay the session for over an hour, and afterwards, only 48 minutes of the session were ran.[2]Jeremy Mayfield of Evernham Motorsports would set the fastest time in the session, with a lap of 37.352 and an average speed of 192.761 miles per hour (310.219 km/h).[3]
The second practice session would occur on Saturday, August 21, at 9:30 AM EST and would last for 45 minutes.[2]Jimmie Johnson of Hendrick Motorsports would set the fastest time in the session, with a lap of 29.209 and an average speed of 130.398 miles per hour (209.855 km/h).[4]
The third and final practice session, sometimes referred to as Happy Hour, would occur on Saturday, August 21, at 11:10 AM EST and would last for 45 minutes.[2]Elliott Sadler of Robert Yates Racing would set the fastest time in the session, with a lap of 29.209 and an average speed of 130.398 miles per hour (209.855 km/h).[5]
Qualifying was originally scheduled to occur on Friday, August 20, at 3:10 PM EST.[2] However, rain on Friday would cancel qualifying, making the lineup based on the current 2004 owner's points. As a result, Jimmie Johnson of Hendrick Motorsports would win the pole.[6]
