Phoenix and other cities will always have specter hanging over them if there is a dedicated racing circuit nearby. It does not matter if that particular series can use the facility or not as far as the naysayers go, just the fact that Phoenix International Speedway is nearby damages the chances of Phoenix getting another downtown race. Couple that with a group of people in the city that do not want to do another one and it goes downhill fast.
Denver faces a similar problem. The naysayers will always say run "Run the damn cars at Pikes Peak Raceway and quit blocking up our downtown". That has been the case at Miami as well with Homestead Speedway relatively nearby. I think that is why the downtown race at Las Vegas hit so many snags.
