AVONDALE, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) – It’s tough to talk about Avondale without talking about Phoenix International Raceway. It is, perhaps, the biggest destination in that city drawing crowds in the tens of thousands every race weekend.
For more than 50 years, Zoomtown USA, as it’s known, has gone relatively untouched, but that’s about to change; the racetrack is getting a facelift.
The project actually started back in 2011 when the track itself was replaced. Now it’s time for things the fans will notice, starting with new grandstands.
