The Subway Fresh Fit 600 is a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held annually at Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, Arizona. A 375 lap event that is one of only four NASCAR Cup series events measured in kilometers rather than miles or laps (joining the fall Phoenix race (500km) and both road course events (both 350km)), the 603 kilometres (375 mi) race starts in mid-afternoon at 4:30 PM and finishes under the speedway's lights during night time. NASCAR announced the lengthening of the race in January 2010.[1]
Race history
As part of the 2005 NASCAR Realignment, a second date was awarded to Phoenix with Subway sponsorship. As there was already a race sponsored by Subway on the schedule (the now TUMS Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville), the name "Subway Fresh 500" was devised to reduce confusion. Subway later added the word "Fit" to the sponsorship to promote its Fresh Fit combo choices.
With the new 2010 NASCAR start time rule change that starts races only at 1 PM, 3 PM, and 7:30 PM Eastern Time, track officials were concerned that the new start time (45 minutes earlier than in the past) would put the majority of the race in the day (sunset around 7 PM PST -- Arizona does not observe Daylight Savings Time) instead of the planned night, so the race was stretched to 600 kilometers so that the extra 100 kilometers would take place during the day, and most of the race could finish at night as planned.
