Tucson Raceway Park is a 3/8-mile paved oval racetrack located at the Pima County Fairgrounds, off Interstate 10 just south of Tucson, Arizona. It was one of only three paved ovals in the state of Arizona (the others are Phoenix International Raceway and Havasu 95 Speedway). The track is currently closed.

The track was built in 1968, originally as a clay oval.

In 1982, International Speedway Corporation bought the facility and paved the racing surface in 1993. In 2002, ISC sold the track to Deery Sports West, Inc. and it was sold again in 2006 to Dan and Joyce Ruth.

In 2008 the track was sold to Mark Ebert.

In 2011 the track was returned to Pima County and is now closed until further notice.

Racing at TRP

TRP has hosted races for: Winston Cup Series, Craftsmen Trucks Series,  ASA racing series, NASCAR, USLMA and a host of others.

Thanks to the warm climate in Tucson, the track was able to remain open from February to November, only closing on weekends when there is a Sprint Cup race at Phoenix.

Former events

In 1995, TRP hosted the second-ever NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race, the Racing Champions 200. This race returned in 1996 and 1997 as the NAPA 200.

TRP was also the home of the TV program Winter Heat Series, which ran during NASCAR’s offseason from 1994-95 to 1998-99. This program was the launching pad for the careers of drivers such as Greg Biffle, Ron Hornaday, Kurt Busch, Matt Crafton and others.
