1996 GM Goodwrench / AC Delco 300 - NASCAR Race
| Name of Race: | 1996 GM Goodwrench / AC Delco 300 |
| Name of Track: | Phoenix International Raceway |
| Date: | October 26th |
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, where he debuted his Polish Victory Lap).
It is an unusual tri-oval shape, more like a "D" shape. This is because the owner did not wish to alter the infield road course to accommodate a traditional NASCAR oval. 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.
In 2005, the track hosted a second NASCAR race, replacing the spring race formerly held at Darlington Raceway, in South Carolina.
