  • TJ's Take on Rain at Crystal


    Crystal Motor Speedway has been a destination for open wheel fans in Michigan for the better part of three decades. From my home in Wyoming, Michigan, Crystal is just over an hours drive, but seems like it is in a different world. According to the 2000 census Montcalm County is home to just over 61,000 people, that’s how many people live in the entire 21 mile radius in the city of Wyoming.
