Phoenix Raceway is ready to host the 20th annual Shriners Children’s 500 this weekend. The fourth race of the season starts at 3:30 pm ET on Sunday, Mar. 10, in a 312-mile action-packed contest.
Located in Avondale, Arizona, Phoenix Raceway boasts a low-banked tri-oval track with a 1-mile-long total track length. The track opened in 1964 and features eight degrees of banking in turns one and two, 11 degrees in turns three and four, and three degrees on the backstretch.
Apart from making one of the two appearances on the Cup Series calendar this year, the Phoenix track will also host the Xfinity Series and ARCA Menards Series races this weekend.
The Shriners Children’s 500 will feature 36 drivers. Like the other NASCAR races, the practice and qualifying sessions will open this racing weekend on Friday at 5:05 pm ET and Saturday at 2:10 pm ET on FS1, which will determine the starting positions for Sunday's race.
