"Portland International Raceway is the place to be for race fans in the Pacific Northwest this August. ‘Speed Month’ will be action-packed in Portland with the thrilling NTT INDYCAR SERIES, fender-bending NASCAR Xfinity Series and much more,” said Jerry Jensen, vice president and general manager of Green Savoree Portland, LLC, which owns and operates the event at PIR. “Now is the time for fans to select their preferred spots at PIR with multi-day tickets available for both exciting weekends!”
