NASCAR Racing At Phoenix International Raceway
Phoenix International Raceway has a new look for NASCAR Racing and more. It’s a new track with a new look, and a new name – Phoenix Raceway.
If you haven’t experienced the thrill and excitement of a Live NASCAR race event, then have a look at what you’re missing! There’s great race events throughout the year, with camping available right at the race track!
First, check out my short video clip of 43 cars roaring by at the start of a typical Premier NASCAR racing event.
Be sure to turn your speakers up!

Premier NASCAR Racing Events And More At Phoenix Raceway
We’ve attended the fall race events for many years, and always enjoy this part of Arizona. The track is just outside the city of Phoenix, located in a beautiful country setting next to rolling hills and huge cactus.
There’s a number of races to see during the weekend, along with excellent track side displays. As well, pre and post race entertainment to enjoy into the late evening.

Meet Your Favorite Driver At The Races In Phoenix
Along with the many planned activities in and around the track, drivers always make themselves available for meet and greet sessions. I managed to get a quick shot of former NASCAR Driver Casey Khane during an autograph session a few years back.:)
Camping Right At The Track At Phoenix Raceway
One of the many things that make Phoenix Raceway so special is camping out right at the racetrack. Surrounded by beautiful cactus set along the hillside in a country setting, camping just adds to the race weekend excitement.
We have always enjoyed camping out for the weekend races in our RV. You’re just outside the city limits, yet far enough to feel like you have escaped into the country!
A perfect setting for spending quality time with family and friends. Camping and enjoying the spectacular races ISM Raceway is known to host year after year!
You have your choice of Reserved and Unreserved Recreational Vehicle camping sites. Located inside the track property, to more rustic camping on federal grounds just on the outside.
A great option that is sure to suit most anyone’s desires and budget! Be sure to check out my more detailed post and photos on Phoenix Raceway Camping for more information.

Race Day Festivities At Phoenix International Raceway
The Budweiser Clydesdales were on hand at this event taking part in the pre-race ceremonies. There’s always something new and exciting at the races each and every year!
Green Flag as 43 cars are set to face off against each other for another round of race action! As you saw in my short video clip, watching these cars live is absolutely thrilling!
A part of racing excitement is the crashes. They’re great to watch as long as no one gets hurt!
Racing Under the Lights At Phoenix Raceway
The other thing I enjoy so much about this racetrack is the night racing.. The entire track is lit up at night making for some spectacular racing.

Watch the sparks fly as you enjoy an evening of exciting NASCAR Truck Series Racing under the lights!
Along with the truck racing on the weekend, the Xfinity NASCAR Series Racing also races at Phoenix. The excitement never ends during this full weekend race schedule!

Recent track name Changes
Update November 2019
My brother and I finally made it back to enjoy another race weekend in Phoenix. The new race track and stands are amazing!
What a wonderful job they have done with this facility. The new grandstands are excellent, along with completely re-configuring the track itself.
All 4 races held during this weekend event were excellent as well. It was great to see driver Denny Hamlin win Sunday’s event – The Bluegreen Vacations 500. We’re all set to return next year, especially hearing the news ISM will be hosting the championship weekend for 2020! 🙂
Below, I have included the link to Phoenix Raceway’s New Official Website, the new name for Phoenix International Raceway. Here, you can access much more detailed information on all the races held throughout the year at this amazing facility!
See You at the Track!
Update April 2020
In 2020, Phoenix Raceway is hosting their first ever Championship Race Weekend. We’ve got our tickets ordered and can’t wait for this event in early November 2020.
Update December 2020
As Canadians, we were so disappointed to not be able to attend the races this season, but the track is holding our tickets for next years race weekend. It is an event we look forward to every season. I am sure all of us are hoping the world recovers from this serious Covid-19 Pandemic very soon, and we can all return to a normal way of life once again. Let’s hope 2021 will be a much better year for all of us.
Safe and Healthy Travels! 🙂
