Bad news for So Cal NASCAR fans, the 2021 race at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana has been cancelled. Auto Club Speedway President Dave Allen said, "First and foremost, the health, safety and well-being of our fans, competitors, stakeholders and track personnel remains our top priority."
The race that would have taken place the weekend of February 26th-28th will now be realigned to the DAYTONA Road Course. This will become their second race weekend of the season.
ACS President Dave Allen did give So Cal race fans some hope for 2022, "The decision to realign our 2021 race weekend was an extremely difficult one. We will miss seeing the greatest fans in motorsports at the track and hearing the roar of NASCAR engines in Southern California this season. However, our colleagues across the industry will have our full support during the DAYTONA Road Course events and throughout the entire 2021 season, and we look forward to welcoming NASCAR competition back at Auto Club Speedway in 2022."
