An iconic racetrack in San Tan Valley is taking its final lap, but race fans are trying to save the Arizona Speedway and ET Motopark before it closes for good.
“I just don’t get it. The last day they’re gonna open is April 3,” said Tina Hill.
Arizona Speedway and ET Motopark has been in the Valley for 20 years, with the speedway holding races for the last decade. The entity’s owners say officials with Arizona’s land department told them to shut down because of noise, in addition to new development plans for the area.
