Latasha Causey, a Phoenix native and longtime community development executive, is the first female African American track president in NASCAR history.

Not only that, but she’s also the second woman to hold the position at Phoenix Raceway.

It was a pleasure to get to know her, I know you’ll enjoy this episode of Amazing Arizonans, too.

As someone who has camped at Phoenix Raceway for every race for 17 years (34 straight races because 2 races per year) she has done a disservice to the racing fans especially the most loyal fans that buy camp spots for up to 7 days. The last race in March was an absolute joke for campers. No store, limited food options, terrible communications etc. She will lose huge revenue streams if she continues the direction she is on. I'm hoping she gets on the ball and realizes the damage she's done to the race experience in PHX.
