The motorsport track opened in 1964 and currently hosts two NASCAR race weekends annually. PIR has also hosted the IndyCar Series, CART, USAC and the Rolex Sports Car Series. The raceway is currently owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation. Kevin Harvick entered Phoenix with a nine-point lead over Dale Earnhardt Jr. following his win the week before at Las Vegas. Joey Logano entered eleven points back of Harvick in third, with Martin Truex Jr. a further five points back in fourth. A. J. Allmendinger entered 34 points back in fifth.

Should they fail both times, the car will be forced to sit on pit road for 15 minutes in the next practice session before being allowed to go on track. Also, if a car fails its first attempt, it must wait until all the other cars have gone through the station at least once.
