I think the keyword in the Headline is "Appears"! I have been told Lucas Oil is taking over the track. Who knows what the truth is til it's all said and done!

Well, it is OFFICIAL!

2012 Racing Season has been CANCELLED!

There are so many rumors right now that no one truly knows what is going on. There are rumors as well as the track expanding to 3/4 mile to accommodate Nascar Truck Series etc.

Joe

PS. People need to start twisting the ears at Auto Club Speedway, Perris Auto Speedway www.PerrisAutoSpeedway.com to run a weekly Test and Tune session on either Thursday, Friday nights!

Auto Club Speedway blows, and Perris is only a dirt track. Not to mention both are ridiculously far from LA for weekday night racing (traffic going in that direction is stopped all the way to PCH at rush hour).

that track was horrible and if your car was fast at all, you would nearly crash in the guardrail at the end of the track.... but it was local for me lol
