CUP: 7 Reasons To Love Phoenix

Here are some random facts to impress your friends with this Sunday, thanks to the track’s web site.  

• Jimmie Johnson has the best average finish at Phoenix and has won here four times, including the fall race.

• Mark Martin is the defending race champion. He has the second-best average finish, followed by Denny Hamlin, Marcos Ambrose and Jeff Burton

• Martin, Burton, Kevin Harvick and Dale Earnhardt Jr. have won twice here.

• The banking in turns one and two is eleven degrees. The banking in turns three and four is nine degrees.

•  The banking in the frontstretch is three degrees. On the backstretch, it's  nine degrees.

• The frontstretch is 1,179 feet, and the backstretch is 1,551 feet

• Tickets are still available, some for $25.  Kids 12 and under can get in free to the Hillside, where you are allowed to bring hard-sided coolers.

• Why is there bias against hard-sided coolers?  

• Arizona law prohibits fans from bringing alcohol to the track. No wonder there are $25 seats available.

• The track also won’t let you bring umbrellas to the track. It’s Phoenix. Who owns an umbrella?

• They have a weather policy in case rain delays things in the desert.

• You also aren’t allowed to bring skateboards to the track. How many skateboards were confiscated to the point it had to be written into track policy?

• Tony Hawk will not be announcing “Start your engines dude.”

• The track opened in 1964. It hosted its first race in 1988. Be patient, Kentucky and Nashville. Your times will come.

• SPEED has a cantina at the track. They are having Camper Appreciation Night on Wednesday and Harry  Luge Jr. Thursday-Saturday.

• Can they not get Foghat? What about Creed? Even Clay Aiken??

Good evening Pit Crew...would of you ping the list please? Thanks!

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

I’m busy watching the Caps at Pittsburgh. [It’s sort of like racin’]

[cripplecreek]

Wish we had lights here at MIS.

[AZamericonnie]

Good evening Captain...who’s winning?

[AZamericonnie]

Day races only?

[cripplecreek]

Yep, MIS has always been a day race only track.

I suspect the squealing about traffic at night would prevent a night race if they did put up lights. It sure would be a lot nicer than roasting in the sun during the August race.

Leavin’ for the “Jewel in the Desert” first thing tomorrow morning!

[NYTexan]

Lookin' Good!

It sure would be a lot nicer than roasting in the sun during the August race.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Hey Connie! The son has an RV. He’s already there and set up. We camp out at each race. Look forward to it twice a year at PIR.

[LasVegasMac]

Thanks for da ping, NYT!

[AZamericonnie]

I’m his agent but he doesn’t know it...

And just who's agent are you? Or are you a 'secret' agent?;-}

[NYTexan]
