NASCAR Completes 2-Day Phoenix Test

AVONDALE, AZ – NASCAR Sprint Cup teams completed testing Wednesday at repaved and reconfigured Phoenix International Raceway.

Thirty-five teams hit the mile oval on the second day of the test in preparation for the Kobalt Tools 500 on Nov. 13, the ninth event in the 10-race Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup championship.

The new configuration also features variable banking, a longer dogleg and improved pit road.

The 47-year-old track was last repaved 20 years ago.
