The Roll-Bar At the Wheelhouse, ISM Raceway – Phoenix, AZ
It’s been called the nation’s second-nicest motorsports venue, right behind its corporate cousin, Florida’s famous Daytona International Speedway.
After two years of massive renovations completed in 2018 at a cost of $178 million, the 1-mile tri-oval ISM Raceway near Phoenix offers NASCAR fans outstanding spectator amenities including interactive “behind-the-scenes” experiences.
Formerly known as the Phoenix International Raceway, the ISM Raceway’s inviting “INfield” provides fans access (via a convenient pedestrian tunnel) to several open-air garages where they can get up close to their favorite teams and drivers.
Fans, which are separated only by a 3-foot high barrier fence in each of five Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Garages, are able to watch crews work live on their cars.
And when fans are ready to escape all of the action at ISM Raceway’s Midway for food and refreshments, they can head over to the RollBar At the Wheelhouse where they can gather inside or outside on the Roll-Bar’s patio.
Garage access for cars, teams, and fans
The five ISM Raceway Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Garages contain a total of 74 Amarr® 2002 20-Gauge Steel Panel Ribbed Doors with 2” rollers and a Commercial White finish. Each door features two aluminum full view sections with 1/8” clear temper glass. Door sizes include: 8’ high x 16’ wide, 8’ high x 14’ wide, and 8’ high x 8’ wide.
“The doors on the open-air garages really complement the area’s overall industrial look and are a unique combination of the Amarr steel panel ribbed door along with two aluminum full view sections that provide visibility inside and out,” said Mark Johnson, FAIA, Architectural Sales Manager, Commercial Business, Sectional Doors Americas, Entrematic.

While six of the Amarr doors provide fans access to the Roll-Bar’s more private patio areas, two provide access to a larger public patio space. Three of the remaining six doors serve as dividers between the Roll-Bar and the Trackside Bar & Grill (all part of the same structure) and the other three doors provide access to a patio off the Trackside establishment.
“The multi-door arrangement at the Roll-Bar and Trackside establishments really provides a lot of flexibility for how the entire space is being used,” Johnson pointed out. The facility, which is located outside of the ISM Raceway’s track complex, can be rented for private use all year round and well beyond the spring and fall NASCAR racing events.
