For 50 years, the Bondurant Racing School was a place where car enthusiasts and regular drivers could satisfy their need for speed on a closed track.
But on Monday, the high-performance driving school closed its doors in the wake of last month’s bankruptcy filing.
No one answered the phone at the facility at 20000 South Maricopa Road in Chandler, next to Firebird Lake. But Carter Nacke, editor at ClassicCars.com, posted an article about the closing on Monday complete with a photo of a sign on the front door reading, “School is Closed.”
The sign said to direct all inquires to Pat Bondurant, the school’s president and CEO. Bondurant didn’t return a call from Phoenix New Times. Nacke wrote that a spokesman, whom he didn’t name, confirmed that the school closed.He wrote on Twitter that the school was “closed for good.”
