- Phoenix is a one mile oval and relatively flat. NASCAR speedway’s are race tracks that are over 1 mile and not more than 2 miles in length. With the exception of Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Pocono Raceway which are both 2.50 miles. We keep them classified in the Speedway track type due to their unique configurations and relatively flat banking in the turns. So look at Speedway Track results. But I would look at how drivers do at tracks like Richmond and Martinsville, both flat tracks.
