ISM Raceway is an American motorsports center in Phoenix, Arizona. It is home to NASCAR races, and other racing events. The facility is a multi-purpose facility, with grandstands and a start/finish line. The facility holds 130,000 spectators. It has three main components: revenue, start/finish, grandstands and grandstands.
Grandstands
The grandstands at ISM Raceway can seat up to 42,000 fans. Although the ISM raceway has a smaller crowd than other NASCAR tracks that have large attendances, it is still a fun event for all ages. The grandstands at ISM Raceway are still full, and many fans say that the attendance is great.
ISM raceway's grandstands can be different. They may not have the same capacity, so there are sections with different capacities. The new Bobby Allison grandstand was constructed in 2005. It is located close to Turns 1 & 2. This grandstand provides a more comfortable option for race fans.
Start/finish Line
Many drivers believe this will improve late-race restarts at ISMS Raceway. The new start line allows drivers five-wide in turn one. This allows for multiple late-race restarts. A new layout at the track includes a glass wall for the driver’s meeting. This allows fans to speak with drivers outside the meeting. There is no other NASCAR track that offers this close proximity to drivers.
Previously the start/finish line was located at the corner where the old dogleg meets turn 2. It will be possible to make more adventurous line choices and expand on the inside apron with this new location. This new layout will make this track an ideal place for restarters. New configurations will likely make it the most competitive track for drivers like Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick. Double-file restarts will increase creativity and the number of events that restarts can bring.
Revenue
The ISM Raceway is one of the biggest sporting venues in the country. It has a total revenue of $473 millions per year. The facility underwent major renovations in 2017 and a new one was built in 2017. The raceway's revenue has grown year after year.
ISM Raceway has seen ticket sales increase significantly since its renovation. The average ticket price rose to $76. Redevelopment of ISM Raceway has also led to an incremental boost in EBITDA by approximately $8.5million to $9million annually.
Modernization project
Phoenix Raceway, which is located in Avondale (Arizona), has announced a $178-million modernization plan. The project includes improvements to track and spectator experience as well new infields and finish lines. A pedestrian tunnel will connect the infield to new seating areas, which will be connected via Wi-Fi.

How To
How to start racing in another country
First, you need to locate a local club that allows you to practice and compete. Due to the differences in driving laws, racing in other countries can prove very challenging. For example, some countries don't allow drivers to overtake at any point on the road. Other countries only allow overtaking when entering a roundabout. Some countries require that cars emit a distinctive sound when they enter and exit roundabouts. The best thing to do before traveling overseas is to research the regulations for each country you plan to visit. You won't be issued a ticket by the police for violating the law.
