Phoenix March: a one-mile tri-oval with a dogleg
Phoenix Raceway opened in 1964 and is a flat-looking one-mile oval with a kink on the back straight that gives the layout its character. Corner exits are critical, passing is hard to arrange, and restarts become key moments. The frontstretch was modernised in 2018, so there is shade and better sightlines than before.
The track has also been the home of the season-ending showdown in recent years, which gives it extra standing among fans, although the finale has now moved to Homestead.
