Irwindale Speedway Cancels Season
Irwindale Speedway, which opened in 1999, has canceled the 2012 season and appears to be closing, according to the Los Angeles Daily News and San Gabriel Valley Tribune.
Irwindale was considered among the best short track and drifting
facilities in the nation. However, last Saturday, workers were
dismantling the pit grandstand and taking apart storage areas, according
to the Daily News report. In addition, the large billboard bordering the San Gabriel Valley River Freeway was
not lit up and
the track's website was taken off the Internet.
