Phoenix International Raceway is a one-mile, low-banked dog-leg track. Hosting the second
race of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series provides Phoenix International Raceway a unique
position within the sport of NASCAR – the first race to follow the prestigious Daytona 500. The
2014 Spring Event Weekend schedule features three days of NASCAR racing, including the
return of the NASCAR Mexico Toyota Series Toyota 120.
As the only west coast track to host two races each year, PIR’s November event weekend
plays a pivotal role within the sport as the Semi-Final Race in the Chase for the NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series Championship. With the national media spotlight shining on PIR for the
November event weekend, it’s position as the second to the last race can either solidify a
driver’s chances of winning the Championship or it can set the stage for a season-ending,
edge-of-your seat finale.
