Satellite View of California Speedway.
The California Speedway is a two-mile, low-banked, D-shaped oval speedway in Fontana, California, similar to that of Michigan International Speedway, approximately 40 miles east of Los Angeles on the site of the former Kaiser Steel mill.
It is a relatively new race track, opening in early 1997, and has additional configurations and facilities to accommodate "road" races, motorcycle races, vehicle testing, and drag races (Auto Club Dragway), even though the track cannot host NHRA national events, because of International Speedway Corporation's corporatewide deal with Pepsi. (The NHRA has a policy prohibiting certain Pepsi brands to be advertised anywhere at their national events as part of a deal with Coca-Cola.)
This racetrack is a stones throw from the old Ontario Motor Speedway and the old Riverside International Raceway.
After Riverside's closure in 1988, Southern California did not host a NASCAR race from 1988 to 1997, when the new California Speedway was opened.
