Phoenix Raceway has extended an invitation to the NTT IndyCar Series to return for a doubleheader weekend with NASCAR during the 2027 season, following their recent joint motorsports event.

The invitation comes after IndyCar and NASCAR held their "Desert Double" weekend at Phoenix Raceway, marking a collaborative effort between the two major American racing series to share the same venue over a single weekend.

The recent Phoenix event provided both series with an opportunity to evaluate the logistics and fan response to joint programming. The weekend allowed racing fans to experience both IndyCar's open-wheel competition and NASCAR's stock car racing at the same venue.

While the overall reception appears positive enough to warrant future consideration, some drivers have expressed concerns about various aspects of the joint weekend format, though specific details of these concerns were not elaborated upon.

The 2027 timeframe suggests Phoenix Raceway and series organizers are taking a measured approach to expanding the doubleheader concept, allowing time for proper planning and coordination between the two racing organizations.
