NASCAR is dedicated to revitalizing stock car racing in Southern California, though there is currently no definite schedule for events. Dave Allen, NASCAR's West Region president, highlighted the significance of the region and acknowledged the uncertainty around a potential return. The closure of Auto Club Speedway and the discontinuation of the Clash at the Coliseum have left NASCAR without a venue for 2023, ending a 26-year racing streak. While there are plans for a new half-mile track, Allen mentioned the need to further evaluate options before making a strategic decision.
Dave Allen emphasized NASCAR's commitment to Southern California, stating, "The market is extremely important to NASCAR. So we're not abandoning the market..."
NASCAR has run at least one race in Southern California every year since 1997, a streak that will end this year due to the closure of Auto Club Speedway.
