A single-engine plane made an emergency landing Wednesday evening on a parking lot of Phoenix International Raceway.
There were no injuries and no damage to the Cessna 172 or structures on the ground. The plane is registered to John Parris of El Mirage, according to Federal Aviation Administration records.
The pilot and passenger appeared to be heading toward Phoenix when the plane's oil pressure indicator light came on and they began to lose power, according to fire officials. The pilot landed about 5:35 p.m., the FAA reported.
"Fortunately, they had a huge parking lot underneath them," Avondale Fire Division Chief Art Snapp said.
This is the first emergency landing at the raceway, off Avondale Boulevard and Baseline Road, he said.
Not exactly living up to their name, are they?
