Fans of Auto Club Speedway, don’t fret; NASCAR says it has NOT sold the remaining land on the racetrack’s property, as was incorrectly reported on Thursday.

That report stated: “California Speedway and any project there is no longer; NASCAR has sold the remaining track property.”

NASCAR tells JosephSrigley.com that the Quitclaim Deed that circulated on social media Thursday, with the attached implication that the rest of the land on the property once home to the two-mile racetrack wasn’t indicating its sale, but rather, is just related to past easements on the property.

Auto Club Speedway is a racetrack based in Fontana, California, that is beloved by NASCAR fans everywhere, which hosted NASCAR Cup Series events from 1997 to 2023, until the racetrack was deemed closed for business.

The two-mile speedway stopped hosting NASCAR Cup Series events because the sanctioning body had a project in mind – turning the frontstretch of the high-speed racetrack into a state-of-the-art short track – a plan that would secure the sport’s place in Southern California, a key market that has been lacking in NASCAR’s history.

Whether or not that project is set to continue is unknown.

NASCAR last provided an update on the supposed Auto Club Speedway project in March 2025, saying that it had stalled for the time being, but that the sanctioning body was committed to returning the sport to the SoCal market.

The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was deemed the replacement for Auto Club in the Southern California market, but after three years of running a pre-season exhibition event at the purpose-built quarter-mile, NASCAR elected to move the pre-season race to Bowman Gray, and eventually, in 2027, back to Daytona International Speedway.
