Phoenix Raceway, along with parent company International Speedway Corporation, announced on Monday a massive, $178 million modernization project designed to make the fan and race experience even better.
The project is set to debut in the fall of 2018, but drivers, teams and other tracks were already talking about it.
Here’s what was said on social media.
Interesting changes. Hoping for a little extra elbow room in that Cup garage. ud83eudd1eud83cudffc https://t.co/HHjnS2nUhT
