Looking for some ideas for the family over Spring Break? An exhilarating venue is NASCAR’s Spring Break Weekend at Phoenix International Raceway (PIR). Race on down to “ZOOMTOWN® U.S.A.”, as PIR was officially declared back in 2009 by Arizona’s Governor, for 3 great days of racing and partying galore. Whether you are tailgating or RV-hopping or just hanging out waiting for the live concert by Grammy-nominated rock band, Tonic, your Spring break will take on a wholenew level of excitement and fun.
For the grease monkey
Get down and dirty, and purchase a $60 pre-race pit pass and head into the pits to give a shout out to your favorite driver and even tour their garage.
For the kids
Purchase a $68 package (one adult and one child) and introduce your little one to the intimate side of racing with a personal Q & A session with six-time NASCAR Spring Cup Series Champion, Jimmie Johnson. They’ll leave with a Lowe's Build and Grow Clinic, all the necessary gadgets and materials to build their very own mini race car!
For the camper
You’ll want to prep the camper because there is an entire neighborhood waiting to welcome you with open arms. Thousands of RV’s convene on the adjacent Camping World.com 500 grounds with scheduled week-end events just for them. There is even an on-site Safeway grocery store for a total one-stop camping experience just walking distance to the stands.
Reserve your tickets in advance to make sure you get some great seats. Spectator gates open at 8:00 a.m. on Friday, March 13th and the party continues through Sunday, March 15th.
