ISM Raceway, an American motorsports venue in Phoenix, Arizona, is known as ISM Raceway. It is the home of NASCAR races and other racing events. It can be used for multiple purposes, including grandstands or a start/finish area. It can hold 130,000 people. Its key features are revenue, start/finish line and grandstands.
Grandstands
ISM Raceway's grandstands can hold up to 42,000 people. While the ISM Racing track is smaller than some other NASCAR tracks which attract large crowds, fans still enjoy a good time at the race. ISM Racing's grandstands remain full and many people agree that it is a great track.
ISM Raceway's grandstands aren't all created equal. Therefore, some sections have greater capacity than others. The Bobby Allison grandstand was built in 2005. It is located near Turns 1 and 2. This grandstand is a better option for race fans.
Start/finish line
Many drivers believe the repositioning of the Start/finish line at ISMS Raceway near the dogleg area will facilitate late-race restarts. Drivers can now spread five wide at the start line in turn one. This creates several late-race restarts. The new layout of the racetrack also features a glass wall that can be used for driver's meetings. Fans can chat with drivers during the meeting. Fans can chat with the drivers at this track, which is rare in NASCAR.
Previously, the start/finish line was at the corner of the old dogleg and turn two. This new location will allow for more line options and will expand the interior apron. This new layout could make this track a magnet for restarters. The new configuration will be the most competitive and attractive for drivers such as Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and others. The creativity and eventfulness that restarts bring will be enhanced by double-file restarts.
Revenue
The ISM raceway is the country's largest sporting venue. The venue generates $473 million in annual revenue. Recently, the venue underwent major renovations and a new facility built in 2017. The revenue from the raceway has been increasing year after year.

Modernization project

How To
How to begin racing in another country
First, find a club in your area where you can practice and compete. Because of the different driving laws in other countries, it can be difficult to race. For example, some countries don't allow drivers to overtake at any point on the road. Some countries allow only overtaking at a roundabout. Some countries require cars that make a certain sound when they enter or leave a roundabout. The best thing you can do before you travel to another country is to read the regulations. This will ensure you don't get a ticket for breaking the law.
