NASCAR Nationwide Series Entitlement - FALL November 2014 | Page 2

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.
