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??

Well that last caution caused the entire field to be shaken not stirred! Will await the interview with Shrub and JJ. Betcha Shrub isn’t available, but we’ll see.

Lap 377 — CHECKERED FLAG: Jeff Gordon takes a look inside in Turn 4 but Ryan Newman is able to hold him off and win for the first time this season. Jimmie Johnson works his way up to third. Kyle Busch finishes eighth after leading when the caution came out.
