Then watch the full replay of the Quicken Loans Race for Heroes 500 at Phoenix. The 500 is kilometers!

Not sure if serious. The 500 is miles. Methinks you already know that though.

Phoenix Internatioal Raceway is a one-mile oval. The race is 312 laps and 312 miles long. 312 miles is very close to 502 kilometers.

Oh. odd. I thought the names of the races were always based on the mileage (Daytona 500, Coca Cola 600, etc.) How did Phoenix get messed up?

EDIT: found this on wiki: "The Quicken Loans Race for Heroes 500 is a NASCAR Sprint Cup stock car race held at Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale , Arizona . It is one of four NASCAR races run with a length measured in kilometers; the The Profit on CNBC 500 at Phoenix is one and the two road course events ( Toyota/Save Mart 350 and Cheez-It 355 at The Glen ) are the others."
