NASCAR track's 150-foot tower comes crashing down
Watching the demolition of large buildings and sports arenas is strangely entertaining - assuming something isn't obstructing your view. At the NASCAR race track near Phoenix - now called ISM Raceway - the next best thing to a massive building implosion happened recently.
Part of a $178 million renovation project that started in January 2017 and is expected to be completed by the time NASCAR returns to the desert in November, the latest piece of the track to go was its giant, 150-foot scoring tower.
Set to overly dramatic music, watching this tower come crashing down is oddly captivating.
Feels like someone should have yelled, "Timberrrrr!"
The next time NASCAR returns to Phoenix, ISM Raceway will look completely different. The Can-Am 500 in November is the penultimate race on the Cup Series schedule.
