This race had previously taken place at the Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Virginia until 2005 when the NASCAR Realignment occurred. The, now, TUMS Fast Relief 500 replaced the Subway Fresh 500 race in Virginia, allowing Subway's sponsorship to reconvene in Arizona. Phoenix International Raceway is also home to four other NASCAR events including the Checker Auto Parts 500, the Able Body 200, the Craftsman Truck Series 150, and the Bashas' Supermarkets 200. The track is equipped with lighting, which allows the Subway Fresh Fit 500 Sprint Car Race to begin at sunset. As it is a night race, the progression of driving conditions really spices things up. Drivers claim the track is a little out of the ordinary with its tri-oval design (which is like a big letter "D"). It tends to be flatter and straighter than the average oval track which makes for a more exciting and thrilling race. The greatest degree of embankment is 11 degrees around turns 1 and 2, followed by turns 3 and 4 at 9 degrees, while the front stretch is a measly 3 degrees! Driver's also love the course due to the many lines they are able to follow. This odd-shaped course makes for a interesting night each year at the Subway Fresh 500 at Phoenix International Raceway, as the final standings are so unpredictable.
