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??

North Scottsdale way here.

He has encountered black bears up to about 350 lbs

He's fearless! And such a beautiful creature!

[MtnClimber]

He is definately fearless. We usually have one or more bear incidents each year so he stays in practice. But, what really drives him crazy are squirrels and chipmunks!

[happydogx2]

Now thats what I’m talking about.

[happydogx2]

I’d suggest moving closer to a neighbor who has a better ISP so your wireless can get a better signal. :)

It WILL be interesting to see how the dynamics of this race play out - extra pit stop, etc. PIR is one of our favorite tracks as it is one of the three we’ve been too. The extra “sit” time will be hard on the butts as those seats are hard and only 12” wide...of course there is always the “hill”.

I was aware it was a Saturday race but for this Saturday only a Columbia River Salmon has a priority so we’ll watch the recording when we get home late Saturday evening. Tubebender said he wouldn’t change my drivers after Q but I know he will ‘cause he’s a loveable little fuzz-ball. Enjoy the day & the race on Saturday.

[WestCoastGal]

I get very jealous when you mention salmon just out of the river - we have crappy fish here in Texas. It’s probably just the market I have to endure. If I drive a long way I can find Whole Foods but the prices are astronomical.

I can’t believe the seats are only 12” wide - there are so many over weight people these days.

Yep that’s Tube “lovable little fuzzball” :P

[tubebender]

I would fit nicely in a 12” wide seat... old fuzz

[MtnClimber]

Are you a happydog with your own couch?

[Stumpy911]

A LazyBoy of course!!!

[MtnClimber]

I thought you would change your Racing League name to Bananna Slug Bender. I am going to snap up that name if you don’t! Maybe I would change it to Banana Slugs on a Bumper!

[tubebender]

Or if you rode a Harley you could call it Banana Slugs in my te... Never mind

[tubebender]

BTW... we had some series winds today and this evening. Some of the gusts were hugh...

[happydogx2]

Not only the couch but the bed too, if I’m good.

The longer I live the greater my appreciation of the devotion of my canine friends.

Enjoy the race...

[AZamericonnie]

Right on...just as it should be.:)

[MtnClimber]

Sorry the wind gusts were hugh, but glad they were not series!

[MtnClimber]

I will enjoy the race, and you too!

[tubebender]

They are on the track for hot laps..

[MtnClimber]

Stewart spins

[tubebender]

There must be a war because I just got my draft notice to show up in the garden OR ELSE!!!
