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??

I wonder how long till Bam Bam issues an executive order replacing NASCAR with the World-wide Hybrid Inclusive Motorsports Program (WHIMP)? Ihe categories would be L-B-G-T instead of A-B-C categories.

Hiya Norm...glad you approve & your most welcome...happy racing!:)

[AZamericonnie]

ROFLOL....my goodness, in a normal atmosphere I would say how silly that response is. These days.....not so sure!:)

Btw...gorgeous pics on your homepage!

Did you take those?

[NormsRevenge]

LOL.. That opening has more colors in it than a rainbow. :-)

Glad to see Layla Ali as Grand Marshal..

[AZamericonnie]

Two key elements....is a recliner involved?;-}

[umgud]

Thanks for the ping. Nice thread too AZ.

I did take the pictures on my home page. I have been mountain climbing all over the world, but need to get a slide scanner to post most photos I have taken. Remember the quote that is attributed to Ernest Hemmingway "Bull fighting, auto racing, mountain climbing. The rest are just games."

Not looking forward to the day when all cars are Prius. Hopefully the roar of high-horsepower V-8's will continue!

The closes Nascar comes to Eureka is Sears Point about 250 miles south on 101 in the middle of July when the temp there is over 100. High temps and BP meds don’t get along real good especially when the July temps here are a average high of 65...

"Bull fighting, auto racing, mountain climbing. The rest are just games."

I think Hemmingway was a man of intense attractions & entertainment....among other things.:)

Your pics are amazing...truly. So fantastic you have had such neat adventures!

[MtnClimber]

Thank you! I must get a slide scanner. These photos are not even close to the best. I must have 10,000 slides.

[AZamericonnie]

Well, once you do & get them loaded I would appreciate a ping to them!

[MtnClimber]

I do not have most of my photobucket photos on my home page. If you click on my screen name you will see my home page. Then if you click on a photo you will access my photobucket album. I need to get a slide scanner because I have so many racing photos. I used to live just south of Daytona Beach, FL and went to many Daytona 500 and Firecracker 400 races.

Looking good! And now for an inside view of an internal combustion engine.

I got so sloshingly hammered we left the car and snuck on the city bus to get home..Hell I was so drunk I was givin autographes.

[advertising guy]

uhm.........Hemmingway was a mushroon takin freak among other things
