Phoenix Int'l Raceway To Undergo $10M Renovation And Repaving

Officials today are expected to formally announce plans for a $10M, six-month repaving and reconfiguration of Phoenix Int'l Raceway that is "designed to facilitate more entertaining side-by-side racing." The project, scheduled to start "soon after" the Feb. 27 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Subway Fresh Fit 500, will be the track's "first major repaving since 1990 and the most significant overhaul in the track's almost 50-year history." Changes will include a "wider front straightaway and slight variable banking in the corners" (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 2/9).
