Why Formula 1 came to Phoenix, and why it quickly left
In June 1989, the streets of downtown Phoenix became a raceway for the biggest global racing competition: Formula 1. The Phoenix Grand Prix was a chance to show off Phoenix on a world stage, but the race was beset with wide ranging obstacles. Needless to say, it wasn't a smooth ride. Just after three years, Formula 1 pulled out of the Valley of the Sun.
This week on Valley 101, we find out why Formula 1 came to Phoenix and why it quickly left.
