Phoenix Raceway and Barstool are still in the process of planning to open a retail sportsbook in Arizona.
Phoenix Raceway is currently strategizing their entrance into the retail Arizona sportsbook market, with the timing of their move still uncertain.
According to a track representative, a physical sportsbook at Phoenix Raceway has always been part of the plans, but construction timelines have not yet been determined. The information was shared via email with yengols.com on Thursday.
After its completion, the Phoenix Raceway facility will join the expanding roster of sportsbooks in Arizona, such as the FanDuel Sportsbook at Footprint Center, Caesars Sportsbook at Chase Field, the BetMGM Sportsbook currently being built at State Farm Stadium, and the DraftKings facility at TPC Scottsdale.
Professional sports franchises in Arizona have licenses for sports betting apps, resulting in the existence of five retail locations.
At present, there are no on-site retail sportsbooks at any NASCAR tracks. However, it is expected that retail sportsbooks will be opened at Bristol Speedway in Tennessee and Martinsville Raceway in Virginia, as both states already offer mobile sports betting.
Kansas Speedway, where Hollywood Casino is located and owned by Penn National Gaming, the same company that owns Barstool Sportsbook, is getting ready to open a retail sportsbook once the state’s market is up and running later this year.
Sportsbooks are available at professional sports venues in Arizona.
- The FanDuel Sportsbook Arizona located within the Footprint Center.
- Caesars Sportsbook Arizona located at Chase Field.
- In 2022, the BetMGM Sportsbook Arizona is set to open its doors at State Farm Stadium.
- In 2023, DraftKings Sportsbook Arizona is set to launch at TPC Scottsdale.
- Phoenix Raceway, the location of Barstool Sportsbook Arizona, will be opening its doors in the near future.

In November, NASCAR Championship will be hosted at Phoenix Raceway.
The NASCAR Cup Series Championship race will be held at Phoenix Raceway on November 6. In August 2021, Penn National Gaming partnered with Phoenix Raceway, becoming one of eight operators to obtain a professional sports franchise sports betting license.
Penn National will face intense competition when it launches a retail betting site at the raceway.
In late June, Caesars Sportsbook opened its permanent retail location at Chase Field. The spacious two-story, 22,300 square foot area boasts forest-green tiled walls and provides a wide selection of food and drink options curated by famous chef Guy Fieri. The facility also includes Guy Fieri’s DTPHX Kitchen + Bar concept.
In September of last year, the grand opening of the FanDuel Sportsbook at Footprint Center established it as a key venue in downtown for hosting events like March Madness and Phoenix Suns playoff games.
In January, BetMGM unveiled the first look at its new sportsbook at State Farm Stadium. The location is scheduled to open just in time for the start of the NFL season and is anticipated to attract a significant number of visitors during the Super Bowl in Arizona next February.
In 2023, the DraftKings Sportsbook at TPC Scottsdale will debut with 390 seats, 3,400 square feet of video walls and screens, and a patio equipped with video screens, VIP cabanas, and fire pits.
