Lodging for NASCAR race fans near MIS

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at Michigan International Speedway (MIS) features the Pure Michigan 400 on Sunday August 21 in Brooklyn Michigan. Over 100,000 fans are expected for the main race on Sunday, with smaller crowds on Friday for Pole Day and on Saturday for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series running of the VFW 200.

Many fans will arrive for a full week of activities at MIS. Most of them will be staying in their luxury RVs. The rest of the fans will arrive for 3 days, 2 days, or just 1 day of racing action. Many of these fans will be camping, as there is a shortage of hotel/motels within a half hour of the race track.

For those fans who want to avoid the possibility of camping during a heat wave or in rainy weather, the Munro House Bed and Breakfast in Jonesville offers rooms for couples who prefer a comfortable bed in a quiet house just 30 minutes West of the track on US-12.  This fine lodging facility is a step up from hotels and motels near MIS. Jonesville also has a dozen restaurants with cuisine ranging from fast food, to family dining, to fine dining. Fuel, ice cream, and a Super Wal-Mart are also in town to take care of your needs.

A great weekend of racing can be very comfortable when your headquarters is in Jonesville.

A Place to Stay for NASCAR Race in June at Michigan International Speedway

Camping dominates the lodging choices at MIS speedway in Brooklyn Michigan where hot or rainy weather can play a factor in comfort. Hotels and Motels near the track have been full for months. They get top dollar and demand 3-7 nights minimum stay. However, folks who prefer a more quiet, comfortable, and less-demanding experience could still find lodging available at the Munro House Bed & Breakfast in Jonesville, just 25 minutes from the track on highway 12. 

All of the rooms are designed for 2 people. They all have a queen size bed, private bath, cable TV, and free high speed wireless internet. A big breakfast is offered every day, but a 'to go' breakfast is available for fans who want to get there early.

A full weekend of NASCAR racing at Michigan International Speedway (MIS) in Brooklyn includes Friday June 17 featuring Raineater Wiperblades ARCA racing series. Saturday June 18 features Alliance Truck Parts 250 NASCAR Nationwide Series race. Sunday June 19 features the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips 400 Sprint Cup Series Race.

The party animals will be at the campgrounds. Folks who just want to enjoy a weekend of racing can find comfort in downtown Jonesville.

NASCAR Fans Stay at Jonesville Michigan Bed and Breakfast


NASCAR race fans have been coming to Southern Michigan for years to enjoy Sprint Cup Series races at Michigan International Speedway (MIS) in Brooklyn.  Most of them will be in and out in a day for the big race. Many will be camping near the track. Few will get a good night sleep in a real bed. 
The big issue is that there are not many choices for lodging near Brooklyn, MI. Brooklyn is a town of just 1,200 people. Nearby cities within 30 miles include Jackson, Adrian, Clinton, and Jonesville. Total population of these cities combines to around 60,000.  MIS has hosted over 150,000 fans for a single day of racing in the past. All of these people have food and lodging needs. The food part is relatively easy as more food can be brought in to feed the fans. The lodging part is a bit of an issue.  The best way to lodge the masses has been via campgrounds in and around the track.

Fans who don't mind camping have a plethora of choices. Fans who desire traditional lodging need to seek out hotels, motels, plus bed and breakfasts in Michigan.  The Munro House Bed and Breakfast is located about a half hour west of the track just a block off of US-12 in downtown Jonesville.  Seven lucky couples get a good bed to sleep in and a convenient location to enjoy the NASCAR races in Southern Michigan for the June and August races.  Call early to reserve or book online.
