California Speedway Tickets Information
California Speedway
California Speedway stands on the 568-acre site of the former historic Kaiser Steel mill in Fontana, California, about 50 east of downtown Los Angeles. That mill produced much of the steel used to build the Liberty ships that helped the Allies win World War II.
California Speedway was built by Penske Motorsports Inc., but in 1999 that company merged with International Speedway Corporation, bringing the track into the ISC family of tracks. The Speedway officially opened in June, 1997 and the next day NASCAR star Ken Schrader won the first race held at the track, a Winston West Series race. Mark Martin also won an International Race of Champions event that day, and the following day Jeff Gordon won the inaugural Cup race.
Beginning in 2004, California Speedway’s two-mile oval became the host of two NASCAR Cup series races each year, adding a Labor Day weekend event to is roster of activities. The 75-foot wide track has 14-degree banking in its turns, 11-degree banking on the 3,500-foot-long frontstretch and 3-degree banking on a backstretch that stretches for 2,500 feet. It has additional configurations and facilities to accommodate "road" races, motorcycle races, vehicle testing, and drag races (Auto Club Dragway). More than 300,000 tons of asphalt were put down to provide over 32,000 paved parking spots for fans who come to California Speedway for the track’s events.
California Speedway’s infield road-course has been used by the Grand American Road Racing Association (GARRA) and by the Japanese Grand Touring Car Championship. The Speedway has also played host to races in the NASCAR Busch and Craftsman Truck series, as well as events in the IndyCar Series and what is now the ChampCar World Series on its oval and road racing and motorcycle events on its road courses.
Jeff Gordon is a three-time race-winner at California Speedway, but Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin, Jeremy Mayfield, Elliott Sadler, Rusty Wallace and Greg Biffle have also scored Cup victories. In 2005, 19 year old Kyle Busch earned his first ever NASCAR NEXTEL Cup at California Speedway. He is to date the youngest driver to win a race in the NEXTEL Cup Series.
The facility is often used for television shows and commercials, and for major films. In 2000, portions of Charlie's Angels were filmed at the speedway and in 2004, portions of Herbie: Fully Loaded, were filmed there.
Today California Speedway is a major-league racing venue attracting around 100,000 fans to its racing events.
