INDYCAR will return to Phoenix Raceway in 2026 for the first time since 2018. The historic 1-mile oval will host the second race of the 2026 season on March 7. The track, originally opened in 1964, has a long history with open-wheel racing, hosting events for USAC, CART, Champ Car, and the Indy Racing League before the unified NTT INDYCAR SERIES. Phoenix Raceway has undergone renovations, including a relocated start/finish line and renumbered corners, but remains the familiar 1-mile oval.
