Phoenix International Raceway is the first oval race of the season, although it is shaped more like a “D”. It is 1 mile, or 1.61 km, long . Turns 1 and 2 are banked at 10-11 degrees.
. Turn 3 is 8 degrees of banking, and turn 4 is about the same, with the backstretch banked at 8-10 degrees and the frontstretch comes in at 3 degrees. After 3 road-course races, the drivers will be happy to open it around this oval.
Previous Winners :

France's Simon Pagenaud, Australia's Will Power, Tony Kanaan and American Graham Rahal rounded out the top 5.
Going back to the USAC Champ Car days in 1964, the leader in wins in this race is Al Unser Sr., who has 6. Johnny Rutherford is next with 5, while Bobby Unser, A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti and Gordon Johncock all have 4..

PICKS AND PREDICTIONS
The last 2 winners of this race have come from the sixth spot on the grid, and 5 winners have come from either the pole or second . It is tough to make a pick for this race , as it only returned to the Indycar circuit last year, but Tony Kaanan, has finished in the top 5 in all 4 of his starts here.
Keep an eye on Colombia's Juan Pablo Montoya, who led 56 laps last year, but finished ninth, and Castroneves led 39 laps en route to an 11th-place run.
Both drivers struggled with tire wear, which destroyed their chances at a win. While this race was on a hiatus from IndyCar, Montoya drove a stock car in Phoenix and got a top-5 result in 2010.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Arizona ( (listen); Navajo: Hoozdo Hahoodzo Navajo pronunciation: [xòːztò xɑ̀xòːtsò]; O'odham: Alĭ ṣonak Uto-Aztecan pronunciation: [ˡaɺi ˡʂonak]) is a U.S. state in the southwestern region of the United States. It is also part of the Western and the Mountain states. It is the sixth largest and the 14th most populous of the 50 states. Its capital and largest city is Phoenix. Arizona, one of the Four Corners states, is bordered by New Mexico to the east, Utah to the north, Nevada and California to the west, and Mexico to the south, as well as the southwestern corner of Colorado. Arizona's border with Mexico is 389 miles (626 km) long, on the northern border of the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California.
Arizona is the 48th state and last of the contiguous states to be admitted to the Union, achieving statehood on February 14, 1912, coinciding with Valentine's Day. Historically part of the territory of Alta California in New Spain, it became part of independent Mexico in 1821. After being defeated in the Mexican–American War, Mexico ceded much of this territory to the United States in 1848. The southernmost portion of the state was acquired in 1853 through the Gadsden Purchase.
Southern Arizona is known for its desert climate, with very hot summers and mild winters. Northern Arizona features forests of pine, Douglas fir, and spruce trees; the Colorado Plateau; some mountain ranges (such as the San Francisco Mountains); as well as large, deep canyons, with much more moderate summer temperatures and significant winter snowfalls. There are ski resorts in the areas of Flagstaff, Alpine, and Tucson. In addition to the Grand Canyon National Park, there are several national forests, national parks, and national monuments.
About one-quarter of the state is made up of Indian reservations that serve as the home of 27 federally recognized Native American tribes, including the Navajo Nation, the largest in the state and the United States, with more than 300,000 citizens. Although federal law gave all Native Americans the right to vote in 1924, Arizona excluded those living on reservations in the state from voting until the state Supreme Court ruled in favor of Native American plaintiffs in Trujillo v. Garley (1948).
