Phoenix Raceway — трасса, на которой проходила гонка.

Phoenix Raceway , также известная как PIR , представляет собой треховальную гоночную трассу длиной в одну милю с низким уклоном, расположенную в Эйвондейле, штат Аризона . Он назван в честь близлежащего мегаполиса Финикс . Автоспортивная трасса открылась в 1964 году и в настоящее время ежегодно принимает два гоночных уик-энда NASCAR . PIR также принимал участие в сериях IndyCar , CART , USAC и серии спортивных автомобилей Rolex . В настоящее время гоночная трасса принадлежит и управляется Международной гоночной корпорацией .

Изначально гоночная трасса была построена с полосой дороги длиной 2,5 мили (4,0 км) , которая проходила как внутри, так и за пределами главного треховала. В 1991 году трасса была изменена на нынешнюю внутреннюю планировку длиной 1,51 мили (2,43 км). Ориентировочная вместимость трибун PIR составляет около 67 000 человек. Огни были установлены вокруг трассы в 2004 году после проведения второго ежегодного гоночного уик-энда NASCAR.

Phoenix Raceway is home to two annual NASCAR race weekends, one of 13 facilities on the NASCAR schedule to host more than one race weekend a year. The track is both the first and last stop in the western United States, as well as the fourth and the last track on the schedule.
