You want racing action? Well, this weekend you are in luck. Three NASCAR series will hitting up Phoenix Raceway. Meanwhile, IndyCar will kick off their season down in Florida for the Firestone Grand Prix of St Petersburg. IMSA’s VP Racing Sportscar Challenge is also joining IndyCar in St Petersburg for their grand prix. F1 also races this weekend, but Max Verstappen is going to win so who cares. A weekend full of racing for every race fan. With this many events going on, that means there will be plenty of opportunities for the Pit Pass Network crew to get predictions correct (or very wrong). Time to see who each member of the PPN crew picked in this week’s Pit Pass Network Predictions for NASCAR’s spring Phoenix and IndyCar/IMSA’s St Petersburg.
