Avondale, Arizona - Governor Doug Ducey Friday joined representatives from NASCAR at ISM Raceway’s Gatorade Victor Lane in Avondale to announce that Arizona will host the 2020 NASCAR Championship Weekend at ISM Raceway for the first time in the sport’s history.
“We are ecstatic to welcome NASCAR’s Championship Weekend to Arizona,” said Governor Ducey. “As our state continues to welcome new residents and businesses, Arizona has proven to be the premier destination for the biggest events in all of sports, and Tuesday’s announcement adds to that reputation. We are grateful to NASCAR for choosing Arizona and ISM Raceway as the new home for their ultimate weekend and we look forward to welcoming more NASCAR fans from around the world to our state.”
