That was where they just added onto the original track and made a big loop out on the backside to increase it to a half mile? They left at the old Turn 2 and rejoined at the old Turn 3. I remember watching ARCA, when it was worth watching, on the old PASS (Detroit) network racing there. The original NASCAR Stupidtrucks raced there, also, if I recall, until NASCAR decided to dump the original idea/formula and just be an undercard to the Busch & Cup series.
