NASCAR will race on the two-mile oval at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana for the final time Sunday before the track is shortened to a half-mile layout.
, Fontana was home to a quarter-mile strip that became a major stop for the National Hot Rod Assn. while also attracting on a nightly basis all manner of amateur racers.Not a monster truck or an energy drink, but an alleged beast described by a local newspaper as “a horrible monster with a hairy body, long hands, and claws dripping with slime.”
The plan is to reduce the track from two miles to a half-mile and modernize the speedway so that races appeal to a broad demographic, not just hardcore NASCAR fans. Details are scarce so far, but the remodeled speedway should fit neatly into NASCAR’s current strategy of making attending a race more than simply attending a race.
And it likely will include a nod to the rich history of motor sports throughout the Southland, and the Inland Empire in particular. For 32 years, Riverside International Raceway was considered a cutting-edge venue because of its ability to stage Indianapolis 500-style racing, NASCAR’s Winston Western 500, dragsters and motorcycles on three track configurations of different lengths.
