Fun fact about Phoenix Raceway: The track was built in 1964 around the Estrella Mountains which is on the outskirts of Avondale and because of the terrain the track was built on and the add on of a road course and drag strip, the designers had to build a "dog leg" into the backstretch.

Fun fact about Arizona: The capital of Arizona has changed four different times, it started out as Fort Whipple to Prescott in 1868, Tuscon in 1877, and Phoenix in 1889. The reason for this change shows the state's changing demographics and the evolving identity over the years.

Next Race: Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon (3-17-2024).
