Just another example of corporate America taking over the history of great race tracks. 9. nascar_vd / racing-reference.info posted: 12.30.2015 - 6:42 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Note: Configuration Length: .5 mile Banking in turns: 6-9-12° (blended banking) Banking in straights: 6° 10.

They were filming a segment for Leno's CNBC show "Jay Leno's Garage" when the wreck occurred. 13. The Great Dave posted: 06.25.2016 - 7:42 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) you mean Rob Riggle right? 14. RaceFanX posted: 09.02.2016 - 7:11 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) No, Bob Riggle. He was a longtime driver of Hemi Under Glass. Bittersweet News, Irwindale's final season has been extended so the track will have a full season in 2016...but the outlet mall is still waiting in the wings. 15.

Seibaru (Tylor Thaber) posted: 08.14.2017 - 11:57 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Sucks that this place is actually closing, though I guess the writing was on the wall. Well, to everyone living nearby the speedway, go buy a ticket and attend a weekly event, you won't have the chance to attend many more. 21.

So an announcement was made in August that the track would close after 2017, but no mention was made of the outlet mall. Now, @nascarworldnews has reported that Irwindale will remain open in 2018. That's great news but I don't know who to believe. 22.

I love the Modifieds on television, and it's going to be my very first live race! I go to this track every year for my birthday, but I always s miss this race. I'm going to love it! 23.

Has a full 2019 schedule on their website. I think I saw somewhere that Trevor Huddleston's father is involved with keeping this joint open. Kudos to him and his gang for keeping this place open as long as they have. 26.

Anon posted: 08.07.2019 - 10:55 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @25 I guess we shouldn't be surprised that Huddleston won the K&N race here this year considering his family's track involvement. Another interesting note is that the track hosted an episode of Masterchef season 10, which featured an appearance from Bobby Labonte. 28.

After that, it was the Linny White, Derek Thorn and Preston Petlier show, as the next 100 laps went green up to the halfway break. Thorn would then ride into the sunset despite two late race cautious and collect a whopping $25K for his win. 29.
