SoCal irwindale speedway CLOSING!!!!

I just found this out from another forum. So....the only track close to L.A will be Fontana Speedway??

Irwindale Speedway, considered by many to host the finest short track racing in the nation, appears to be history.

On Saturday, workers appeared to be closing down the facility, which has had the biggest NASCAR short track races on the West Coast for more than a decade.

Workers were dismantling the pit grandstand, which is adjacent to the first turn. They were also taking apart storage areas. The large billboard bordering the San Gabriel Valley River Freeway was not lit up for the first time in its history, barring power outages, and the track's web site was taken off the Internet.

"They went out of business," said a prominent Irwindale racer who did not want to be identified.
