Phoenix International Raceway

Phoenix International Raceway or just PIR, is a one mile tri-oval race track located in Avondale, Arizona. It opened in 1964, but wasn't used by NASCAR until 1988, with the first race won by the late Alan Kulwicki. It has since been used by the Indy Racing League and an infield road course has been used by the Grand American Road Racing Association.
