When looking at how well a driver does at Phoenix International Raceway, also consider their performance at New Hampshire, Martinsville & Richmond because they are very flat tracks.
Nascar has been running there since 1988. That track is a unique race track based shape based the fact the track has a curve between turns two and three.
Phoenix International Raceway started to have two cup dates in 2005. Jimmie Johnson has the most wins here with 4. Davey Allison, Mark Martin, Jeff Burton, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kevin Harvick are tied 2nd with 2 wins here a each.
Track is more on the driver than the equipment here. It is an unusual tri-oval shape, more like a "D" shape. This is because the owner did not wish to alter the infield road course to accommodate a traditional NASCAR oval.
In 2005, the track hosted a second NASCAR race, replacing the spring race formerly held at Darlington Raceway, in South Carolina.
One of the only tracks designed for open wheel that usually always puts on a good show for NASCAR stock cars.
