 After a hiatus in 2004, the facility roared back to life in 2021, revitalized and ready to host a new era of high-octane events.

What makes TC Raceway truly unique is its distinction as the only half-mile paved tri-oval in North America, a design that promises unique challenges and exhilarating speeds for both drivers and spectators.

While it has a rich history of hosting various NASCAR series and local events, its reopening has brought back premium stock car races, including the ARCA Menards Series West.

Beyond the professional circuits, the Red Mountain Outdoor Event Center is also home to the Sand and Sage Sports Car Club, which offers regular sports car racing and autocross schooling for those eager to hone their skills.

 Imagine the thrill of a warm summer evening, the scent of burning rubber in the air, and the thunderous symphony of engines echoing through the stands.

Whether you're a seasoned racing fan or a newcomer drawn by the sheer excitement, TC Raceway at the Red Mountain Outdoor Event Center provides an unforgettable experience where passion for speed and camaraderie among enthusiasts collide.
