Phoenix Raceway Tickets

Phoenix Raceway Tickets & Events

At the foot of the Estrella Mountains in Avondale, Phoenix Raceway brings NASCAR’s championship stage to the desert with a 1-mile, low-banked tri-oval, a signature backstretch dogleg, and grandstands built around the start/finish line. Phoenix Raceway tickets put fans inside one of NASCAR’s signature venues, where national series racing, race-weekend entertainment, and championship celebrations define the experience.

This page covers everything you need to know before you go — from finding the right seats to getting there, navigating the venue, and buying with confidence.

About Phoenix Raceway

Phoenix Raceway opened in January 1964 and has grown into the premier motorsports venue in the Southwest. Located at 7602 S. Avondale Blvd. in Avondale, Arizona, the raceway is owned and operated by NASCAR following its acquisition of International Speedway Corporation. The facility has approximately 42,000 permanent grandstand seats, with additional capacity available through infield and added seating for marquee events.

Formerly known as Phoenix International Raceway, the venue underwent a major $178 million modernization project completed in 2018. That renovation reconfigured the grandstands, infield, and fan amenities, added a revamped start/finish line on what had been the backstretch, introduced the “Curva Elevada” elevated viewing area, and expanded the open-air “The Hub” fan midway in the infield.

Phoenix Raceway primarily hosts NASCAR national series racing, including the Cup Series, Xfinity Series, and Craftsman Truck Series. It stages two major NASCAR race weekends each year and has hosted the season-ending NASCAR Cup Series Championship weekend since 2020, making it the site where NASCAR’s national series champions are crowned. Its 1-mile tri-oval, relatively flat racing surface, and distinctive dogleg create a racing style that is closely associated with the venue.

Location & Transportation

Phoenix Raceway is located at 7602 S. Avondale Blvd., Avondale, AZ 85323 — in the far western Phoenix metro at the foot of the Estrella Mountains.

Driving and Parking: Phoenix Raceway is primarily accessed by car via Interstate 10 and local arterials in Avondale. The facility has extensive on-site parking, including free general parking and premium or reserved lots for major events. Championship and NASCAR Cup Series race days bring heavy congestion, staggered arrival patterns, and busy post-race departures, so arriving early is strongly advised.

Transit: Public transit directly to the raceway is limited, and the venue is car-access oriented. Most fans arrive by personal vehicle or use race-day shuttle services when offered for major events.

Rideshare: Designated rideshare drop-off and pickup zones are used for major events. After the race, waits and surge pricing are common because large crowds leave the facility in a concentrated window.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is concentrated in Avondale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, and the broader West Valley. Additional hotels are available toward downtown Phoenix and near Sky Harbor International Airport, roughly 20 to 25 miles east.

Venue Navigation

Phoenix Raceway is a large outdoor motorsports facility, so understanding the layout before arrival helps with parking, entry, walking time, and finding your grandstand. The main seating areas face the tri-oval, while infield fan areas, garages, hospitality spaces, and elevated viewing areas add to the race-day footprint.

Entrances and Access: Multiple grandstand entry gates serve the facility, with pedestrian flow directed from parking areas through security and into the main grandstand and infield midway areas. Knowing your assigned gate, grandstand, and section before you arrive helps streamline entry at a venue of this scale.

Seating Levels: Grandstands run along the frontstretch and are organized by named and numbered grandstand sections with tiered seating. The infield includes “The Hub” fan midway, garages, hospitality areas, and the “Curva Elevada” elevated terrace viewing area.

Accessibility: Accessible seating, parking, and services are available at Phoenix Raceway. ADA accommodations are offered for grandstand and infield areas, and guests who need accessible seating should arrange those needs in advance.

Getting to Your Section: Expect significant walking across parking areas, outdoor surfaces, concourses, ramps, and stairs. Signage and event staff help direct fans from gates to seats, and comfortable footwear is strongly recommended for race days.

Dining Options

Inside Phoenix Raceway

Phoenix Raceway offers a wide range of concessions throughout the grandstand concourses and infield midway. Options include traditional race-day fare, regional selections, and alcohol service, including beer. Premium club and hospitality areas provide upgraded food and beverage service. Lines are busiest immediately before the race and around race starts, so building in extra time for food and drinks is a smart race-day move.

Outside the Venue — Avondale and Goodyear

Dining outside the track is concentrated in Avondale and nearby Goodyear, especially around the I-10 corridor and shopping centers. Fans will find a mix of chain and local restaurants in the West Valley, while dining within walking distance of the track itself is limited.

Security & Policies

Phoenix Raceway maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: NASCAR venues typically use a clear-bag policy with size limits. Soft-sided coolers up to roughly 18" x 18" x 14" may be allowed in some areas, and small clear bags or clear totes are generally permitted. Rules can vary by event and seating area.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include weapons, firearms, glass containers, drones, laser pointers, and professional or commercial recording equipment. Outside alcohol is generally prohibited, while cooler and beverage allowances vary by seating area and event.

Re-Entry: Re-entry rules vary by event. Many race-day tickets permit re-entry with proper credentials or a hand stamp, and the applicable rule is shown with event information.

Entry Procedures: Fans should expect bag checks, screening or metal detection, and digital ticket verification at the gates. Arriving early with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets helps reduce delays at security.

How Much Do Tickets to Phoenix Raceway Cost?

Phoenix Raceway ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the driver or series, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from early-weekend support races to NASCAR championship weekend.

Lower-profile support races and early-weekend sessions can start as low as about $40 to $75, depending on the day, seating area, and available inventory. These sessions can be strong value for fans who want to experience the track atmosphere with a lighter crowd than the largest race days.

NASCAR Cup Series race-day grandstand tickets for a regular weekend typically range from about $75 to $250. Prices are driven by seat location, proximity to the start/finish line, views of pit road, and whether the event is part of a standard spring or fall race weekend.

Championship weekend and premium hospitality seating can run from about $250 to several hundred dollars or more. The November championship weekend draws the largest crowds and highest demand because Phoenix Raceway crowns NASCAR’s national series champions.

Buying earlier generally secures better seat locations and pricing, particularly for the November championship weekend. As the race date approaches and inventory tightens, prices for the best remaining grandstand, infield, and hospitality options often rise.

Phoenix Raceway Seating Guide

Phoenix Raceway’s seating layout is worth reviewing before buying because sightlines are shaped by the 1-mile tri-oval, the reconfigured start/finish line, the dogleg, pit road, and the mix of grandstand, infield, terrace, and hospitality viewing areas. Higher rows generally offer broader views of the full track, while lower and infield areas bring fans closer to the speed and sound of race day.

Best Seats at Phoenix Raceway

• Best value: Grandstand sections farther from the start/finish line and higher or end-zone equivalents of the oval typically carry lower prices while still giving fans the full race-day atmosphere.
• Closest to the action: Lower grandstand rows near the frontstretch and pit road put fans close to the cars, while infield viewing and “Curva Elevada” vantage points add proximity from different parts of the facility.
• Best overall experience: Seats near the start/finish line and the reconfigured dogleg offer strong sightlines of the track and pit action. Higher rows in these areas provide broader views of the entire 1-mile oval.
• Premium and suite options: Premium club hospitality, suites, group packages, corporate packages, elevated viewing, and infield hospitality experiences are available for fans who want upgraded service and more private event space.
• For groups: Groups are best accommodated through dedicated hospitality and group-ticket packages, especially for high-demand NASCAR weekends and championship events.
• General admission: Infield and select areas may be offered as general admission depending on the event, while reserved grandstand seating is standard for major races.

The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the track, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Getting Ready for Your Phoenix Raceway Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a large outdoor desert venue with heavy race-day traffic, long walks, and crowded gate activity.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Mobile service can become congested during large race crowds. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time for parking, I-10 corridor traffic, security screening, and walking from lots to the grandstands. Departures are also heavily congested as crowds leave at once.
• Wear the right footwear. Expect long walks across parking and grandstand areas, outdoor surfaces, ramps, and stairs. Comfortable, supportive shoes make a major difference on race day.
• Dress in layers. Phoenix Raceway is an outdoor desert venue with significant exposure to sun and heat during daytime events and cooler conditions in the evening. Sun protection, hydration, and layers are useful depending on the season.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Major races bring parking fill, heavy traffic, and security lines, so plan for an early arrival and a slower post-race exit.
• Know your entrance. Your gate, grandstand, and section details help you navigate the raceway’s large footprint more efficiently once you reach the facility.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
