Welcome to Phoenix International Raceway®. As the 2009 NASCAR season draws
toward a dramatic conclusion here in the “Valley of the Sun”, we are honored to
host all of the fans, drivers, teams, sponsors and media for the Checker O’Reilly
Auto Parts 500 Presented by Pennzoil weekend here at PIR – the semi-final stop in
the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
As we take a step closer to the season’s end, champions are emerging in not only
the Sprint Cup Series here in Phoenix, but also in the NASCAR Nationwide Series
and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. We will also celebrate the return of
the famed Copper World Classic® with a pair of exciting USAC races, featuring the
Silver Crown and Midget divisions.
We want to thank our event sponsors, Checker O’Reilly Auto Parts, Able Body Labor
and Lucas Oil. Their commitment to Phoenix International Raceway and to racing is
significant and much appreciated.
As the Southwest’s leader in motorsports, our staff is dedicated to making every
effort to ensure your overall race experience at Phoenix International Raceway is the
very best in all of professional sports. Like the drivers and crews competing on the
track, our team here at PIR is constantly looking for ways to improve and get better.
We continue to evaluate all aspects of our facility and customer service to make
certain that we meet the high standards we have set for ourselves and that our
patrons have come to expect. If there is anything you need assistance with while
joining us for this exciting weekend of NASCAR® action, please don’t hesitate to
reach out to a PIR staff member at any time.
The Phoenix International Raceway experience is one-of-a-kind and something that
race fans not only in the Valley of the Sun, but from all over the West and across the
country come to Arizona to enjoy. Thank you for being a part of our Checker O’Reilly
Auto Parts 500 weekend this November and we hope to see you again in April,
under the lights for the SUBWAY Fresh Fit 500™. Tickets for the first night race of
the 2010 Sprint Cup season are available at the Gate 3 Ticket Office now.
On behalf of all of our employees, sponsors, marketing partners, teams, drivers and
owners, I welcome you and thank you for joining us for an unforgettable weekend
of racing action.
Warm regards,

TRAFFIC AND PARKING
Please note that all existing traffic guidelines and patterns have been developed
through a cooperative process between PIR, local law enforcement, and other
governmental agencies. However, unforeseen circumstances or occurrences may
cause the temporary or permanent change of some routes and patterns. PIR
appreciates your flexibility before and after the event.
All NASCAR® fans heading to PIR are welcome to park at Cricket Pavilion, where
shuttle bus service will be provided to Gate 7 at the track. Parking and shuttle
services to PIR will total just $7 per car. Guests with PIR-issued parking passes can
Park ‘N Ride at no charge.
Park ‘N Ride services will be available for 12 hours – from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. – on
Sunday, November 15, giving all NASCAR fans an easy way both to and from the
track, before and after the race.
It is important to follow the guidance of law enforcement personnel at all times to
ensure a safe and smooth flow of traffic.
Park ‘N Ride buses will escort guests to PIR via preferential traffic routes, offering
guests an easier arrival to the facility.
Complete Arizona roadway information can be found at all times by dialing the Arizona
Department of Transportation Freeway Management System at 511.
Suggested Routes to Phoenix International Raceway®
Traffic
PIR’s Top 5 Traffic Tips
1. Use the Park ‘N Ride! The successful “Park ‘N Ride” program returns again Sunday,
November 15 to Cricket Pavilion, located just two blocks north of I-10 on 83rd Avenue.
2. Follow your parking pass guidelines. If you have been issued a PIR parking
pass, be sure to follow the specific guidelines printed on the back of the pass. Some
parking passes have special routes that differ from general parking routes. Please
make sure to display your parking pass before you arrive at PIR and leave your
parking passes prominently displayed at all times so that they may be viewed clearly
from the outside by track officials.
3. Read the guidelines within this guide. Suggested routes to PIR are detailed in
the following pages, we encourage following these routes whenever possible.
4. Check the big picture. Read the message boards on Valley freeways; they’ll tell
you the best way to get to the track and what you can expect along the way.
5. Leave early. Buy yourself some time starting with the front end of your trip; it’s
the best way to ensure that you’ll be able to park close and be in your seat for pre-race
ceremonies and the green flag.

turn across traffic, which is important to maintain the smoothest flow of traffic on race day.
Parking
Daily parking at Phoenix International Raceway® is free.

prominently at all times.
Please note that overnight parking is limited to the Palm 2 parking lot. There is no

Motorcycles may park in the western section of the Citrus 1 parking lot (see map). This
area is dedicated to motorcycle parking.
Trams and ADA (Disabled) Parking
Trams
Trams are provided from our parking areas, and drop off at Speed Lane, just outside of the
Bobby Allison Grandstands in Turn 2.
Trams operate from the time gates open each day until 90 minutes after the checkered
flag of each race. Trams are not available after that time.
Accessible Parking
Individuals who purchase wheelchair accessible seating are provided a parking pass for a
designated accessible parking location.
If you are a guest with any state-issued disabled plate or placard, but do not require
wheelchair seating, please follow the traffic guidelines found earlier in this guide. You may
enter the parking area on Cotton Lane and park in the accessible parking located at that
entrance. Please be aware that this lot is limited in size and that parking is distributed
on a first-come, first-served basis. Wheelchair accessible transport carts are available
throughout the event at this location.
For questions or more information, please contact us at 623-463-5400.
Thank you for your assistance.

• Please tailgate in front of or behind your vehicle only.
• Be considerate of other Guests’ vehicles.

they will allow you access to the elevators.
Services for Guests with Disabilities
Please be aware that during peak periods, we may ask that the guest with a disability
and one companion use the elevator while other adult family members meet them at
their seats. Small children of course will always be able to accompany their parents.
Phoenix International Raceway® welcomes guests with disabilities. Motorsports facilities are
significant in size and can be accessed from many directions. To fully enjoy your visit to PIR,
please read the following information regarding venue accessibility options.
Accessible Parking
Guests who have any state-issued disabled plate or placard, but do not require
wheelchair accessible seating, should follow the traffic guidelines found earlier in this
guide. Also, please be aware that due to limited availability of accessible parking, PIR
requires that the individual to whom the pass is issued must be present in the car.
Upon arrival at PIR via Indian Springs Road, guests requiring accessible parking may
park in the lot outside of Gate 4. (Please see the map on pages 18-19 for this lot
location.) Again, as accessible parking is limited, guests are encouraged to arrive early.
However, patrons utilizing advance ticket sales in a wheelchair accessible location
will be sent an accessible parking pass with their seats. For more information on this
program, please contact the PIR Ticket office at 1-866-408-RACE.
The elevators are staffed and controlled by the attendants in the cars. Post race they will
visit each floor in sequential order to help empty the grandstand as quickly as possible.
Elevator operators may operate only in one direction (up) during peak periods immediately
before the race. This will allow all guests to reach their seats prior to the start of the race.
Trams and Golf Carts
Transportation assistance is also available in the form of our tram shuttle and golf cart
programs. Please see the color coded map on page 35 which you can use as a reference.
Carts will be marked according to the color of the route they are currently driving. In the
morning hours, carts will be available at the information booths. Post race, carts will be
located at major gates to transfer individuals back to this lot. A cart will also be available to
transport guests with disabilities through the infield tunnel. Carts may also be accessed by
contacting one of PIR’s Information Booth locations. Should a guest require assistance from
a location other than those designated above, a family member or companion may go to an
information booth and a cart can be requested to go to the guest’s vehicle.
Also, please be advised that during peak volume periods immediately before and
after the race, some delays may be experienced as we work to accommodate all of
our guests safely. PIR provides this service free of charge, and tipping of the transport
driver is not permitted.
