Irwindale Speedway

Fantastic experience: Made it One last time , will be Missed!

Fantastic experience: Amazing time. Now it's gone forever :,((

Fantastic experience: It's a sad Day indeed... Irwindale Speedway is closing today

Fantastic experience: We don't remember the time, we remember the moments.

Fantastic experience: This is a great venue to watch drag races, great family environment, too bad they won't be having the moon eyes yearly carshow and live music and races because they speedway is closing down

Fantastic experience: Really going to miss this place. We have so many fun times and experiences. Lots of new and old cars, fun atmosphere and kid friendly.

Fantastic experience: It just a close place to my heart it was the first track I ever went to and always will be, it made a huge part in cars, car people, car channels everything and now its a park now that's crazy the people who are doing are crazy but those who raced and went there knew that it was a different feeling. I might not have pictures but I do say one thing before it closes that you always be a car person though so al I have to say and rest in peace in this beloved track. and if anyone reads this in any time, any year, they know what this means.

Fantastic experience: A part of SoCal car culture is dead.

Fantastic experience: Today is thanksgiving day 2024.. Just found that that irwindale speedway will be Closing forever...... I just want to say that everybody that I have met there for the last 20 years. Thank you so much.... If it wasn't for irwindale speedway, I be dead..... Thank you all...

Fantastic experience: Burnouts all the way up

Negative experience: Weekday 10:30PM too noisy Neighbor hood unfriendly Weekend (acceptable) Weekday (?? Hello)

Fantastic experience: Sucks the city is closing this place.

Fantastic experience: Can’t believe another great track is going. Irwindale was legendary for the racing community. From drag racing to nascar, this track has it all. They took Auto Club and now Irwindale. Southern California needs racing or else there will be lots of illegal street racing. They can build warehouses in the northern area that’s not even being used. I wish a good final season and plenty of memories at Irwindale Speedway. At least it’s in the virtual world.

Fantastic experience: Irwindale has a soft spot in the drifting community and always will. Watching D1 make it debut here many moons ago (don’t like to focus on that, makes me feel old lol), Formula D using it as it’s finale event throughout the years, and just instrumental to the overall car scene. I am blessed to have been able to cross the country and visit here for Formula D in 2023. I was surprised by how nice of a track it was. Seating was comfortable in comparison to most tracks, restrooms were clean, easy track to find and in a decent location. I will truly miss Irwindale, and had plans to go back. Thank you for all you have done for the drifting community, and shame to whatever forces are leading to your closure.

Fantastic experience: Don't close it down! It's the only nearby spot for the public to enjoy their race cars! Having tracks reduces illegal street racing!

Fantastic experience: Great place to watch race. Sadly it's closing 1/1-2025 Last race ever on this location is December 21st

Fantastic experience: Sorry to see this GEM GO as it's supposed to be closing December 2025

Fantastic experience: Went to Irwindale speedway for 2024 formula drift and had such a great time.

Positive experience: Great events are held here. Organized really well. Plenty of restrooms. Clean facility. Near freeway.

Fantastic experience: Awesome!! Went to my first Formula Druft event here, and the experience was great!!

Fantastic experience: Great experience at Irwindale Speedway for Formula Drift

Fantastic experience: Awesome. Formula drifting

Fantastic experience: Love watching Motorsports events here. Was a great place to take the family. We will all miss it now that it's gone.

Fantastic experience: Always a great time here! I really recommend coming here with family or friends! Especially on Saturdays when they have the fireworks after show✨

Fantastic experience: Magical

Fantastic experience: Great place to test out your car

Fantastic experience: Irwindale speedway is always a great time! Have come here since D1 grand prix drift era, to mooneyes, Import events, Formula D, Thursday drag racing its really fun they play background music, its pretty clean and plenty of mobile restrooms too, they have food area aswell. parking its pricey at “certain events” so hopefully they take it easy on our wallets in that matter ✌but overall great memories with family and many olds friends.

Fantastic experience: With a ticket of only 20 dollars you can experience many car races

Fantastic experience: Thursday night races and the burnout box was crazy fun. Took my kid and he was loving it. Parking lot is like a mini car show, drag strip stands have plenty of space and the same with the burnout box!

Fantastic experience: Fuel Fest 24 was awesome! Fuel Fest ‘24 at Irwindale Speedway was fantastic! The event featured incredible car displays, thrilling races, and a vibrant atmosphere. Well-organized with great food, music, and engaging activities for all ages.

Fantastic experience: The race cars are fun to watch. They have good venders. Fun for all ages.

Negative experience: Owner is pathetic, especially after how he acted after the race today.

Negative experience: I paiedover 200.00 for tickets for the 4th oncore. The track would not let us bring in an ice chest. I asked if they would fill my water container with ice. They had the nerve to charge me 5.00 for a cup of ice. This used to be our favorite place to bring our kids. I will never return here. I'm 68 yrs old and only drink water. This place sucks now.

Fantastic experience: Great car enthusiasts strip to try out your personal vehicles PERFORMANCE. General GEAT FUN FOR ALL YOUNG & OLD

Fantastic experience: Great time at the races. Their fireworks shows are awesome

Fantastic experience: This was my first time at this venue but I can't wait to go back again to see more car racing. I was so impressed with how clean the restrooms were they had an attendant monitoring them which was awesome! There were over 500 cars on the lot, the weather was hot but perfect. Very impressed with this venue, very impressed. I heard the drifting competition will be held there in October!!

Fantastic experience: My son's paid for me to drive one of the Irwindale race cars, but after I got there and went through the training I was too claustrophobic to handle being belted in to the cramped space. We were very disappointed, and asked the ladies atthe front desk if we could get a refund. They called out Trevor Huddleston, one of the nicest persons you will ever meet, who suggested that I ride along with him as a passenger in the "two person" race car. He was very polite to get me a bottle of water and slowly worked to get me acclamated being belted in. We then went out on the track (we were the only one's!) and "flew" around it. It was S0 much fun. Trevor turned what could have been a disappointing situation into a "Five Star" event! If you want to drive one of the cars, I would actually recommend riding along (with Trevor if possible) first to experience the thrill, then go drive it yourself.

Fantastic experience: Great place to spend a Saturday night. Just wish they could bring a racing series to race here, like years ago. Support this place. Race cars ROCK.

Fantastic experience: One of my favorite tracks. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. The racers and the crowd are awesome. If you need to fulfill your need for speed. This is the place.

Fantastic experience: Always a great time at Irwindale. I've been coming here for Formula Drift and other car events for over a decade. Wonderful facility and hope it's here for a long time to come

Positive experience: Nice and clean but parking....... Wait 1 hr to park, 45 min walk to get there, 4 shuttles. Indeed, what to expect...

Fantastic experience: I have so much fun here! I love the firework shows (seriously the best I’ve ever seen). Great food and amazing showmanship

Fantastic experience: I was able to attend my 1st race at the famed. Irwindale Speedway! Got to witness the best of the best of SRLSWTourSeries. This is 1 of the nicest venues a most efficiently ran venues.

Fantastic experience: Was there for Cali Creaming and it was nice event, waaaaaay Better than Ford Fabulous I heard!

Fantastic experience: An absolutely awesome experience Everytime, no matter the event. The firework shows are excellent

Fantastic experience: It was amazing evening with my family 08.27.23

Negative experience: How in the world does Irwindale Speedway receive the permits and permission to have a loud, obnoxious fireworks show after 10pm on so many occasions? The fireworks can be heard in all directions for miles as my neighbors and I can attest to on Nextdoor. These fireworks shows are unnecessarily loud and startling to pets, children, and adults who need to be asleep at that time. Take better care of your neighbors, IS. These fireworks shows are disturbing the peace.

Fantastic experience: Wow this place is so great! The crowd was happy and friendly. The derby was out of control awesome! This was my first time ever at an event like this and I am hooked now! Food was a little pricey but that was to be expected.

Fantastic experience: my favorite place to be. plenty of parking. great seats. amazing fireworks and the best crew in the business

Fantastic experience: Great races tonight. Excellent fire works. Amazing driving. .

Fantastic experience: Came here for Thursday night thunder and it was great! We arrived at around 6, and there were a few cars already drag racing but as the evening wore on, more and more arrived. Walked around the car park and everyone was very friendly. Food was awesome too - best Burrito and Taco’s! We were visiting from the UK and enjoyed it thoroughly. Great venue. Awesome sunset. 2024 update : came back again in 2024 for Thursday Night Thunder - another cracking evenings entertainment. Big shout out to the compare who was very humorous and made the event even more fun!

Fantastic experience: So much fun. Easy wheelchair accessible. Lots of space. A great time. And best firework show. Love the meet and greet before races. Love to visit this place. My son's favorite place.

Fantastic experience: Omg!!! It was amazing this is my first time going to Nascar and yes I will visit it again

Fantastic experience: Well...I grew up in Nascar country, Western NC. My uncle owned a half interest in the Asheville race track, and I use to sit in the stands while my Dad drove the tow truck to clear the crashes on the infield. As a teenager some weekends I would be hanging out in somebody's garage working on their race cars. Went to Irwindale Speedway for the first time probably 20 years ago with my family because Mike Johnson, #17, fixed my transportation at his shop in Ontario. CA and raced at Irwindale. Saw my 1st real NASCAR race in Fontana thanks to a colleague that got us tix about 7 years ago... Why the history? Well, Irwindale Speedway is like one of the stomping grounds for young CA racers shooting for the bigs, and a home for many local automotive related businesses to come together for great family fun! I returned last night with a group of neighbors and his friends, and my 13 year old son that didn't want to go. The folks there put on first an incredible 150 lap race on a half-mile oval with some of the local legends and some young folks that will be driving in the upper echelons of car racing in a few years, then turned to the local fun of things like a jet truck burning a mini van out, skid plate racing. figure 8 racing, trailer racing, and the best fireworks show I've seen in years! By the time I got home with that 14 year old who didn't want to go, he was all smiles and glad he went and saw such fun stuff with our neighbor kids. If you have never been to an auto race or if you know the sport of racing, Irwindale Speedway is a great place to bring your family for an evening of LIVE not TV entertainment! I am not a betting guy, but I'll wager when my son wakes up shortly, he's going to want to know when we're going back!

Fantastic experience: Definitely alot of fun and seats are cheap alcohol , food , snacks are cheap too I recommend bringing ear plugs cause it does get loud

Fantastic experience: Trucking for kids with the Portable Car Hoist

Fantastic experience: This venue is amazing! So much fun at fuel fest! Event was sold out and traffic getting into the parking lot took nearly an hour to go .5 miles but it was all good!! Worth the wait!

Positive experience: Was nice but a few problems getting to parking took one hour and the food was super Expensive 12 $ for once small slice of pizza

Fantastic experience: Best high level racing. Love the meet and greet. Best fireworks show I have seen. Fun times!

Fantastic experience: Lots of fun tonight at the nascar race featuring demo derby! Awesome firework show! Bring ear plugs.

Negative experience: I was just there this past Sunday for a drifting event . I spent 90 dollars for 3 people to enter the event. I literally got ripped off. The event was already over by the time I parked . Why would they not tell me that ? Terrible . 90 dollars is a lot of money for nothing. No wonder this place is going out of business. That's too bad . I've been going there for 30 years . Very disappointed

Positive experience: We had a great time at the Ford car show and enjoyed the drag racing beautiful and fast cars all for one price

Negative experience: After a 2 hour drive you get here and told their clothes due to a rain delay. Because there's puddles everywhere but there's no. Puddles anywhere to be seen and then someone gets on the phone with a bad attitude. This place is horrible horrible customer service would not advised

Negative experience: No one in the concession stands can get out of 1st gear. Plan on an hour in line for anything at any of the stands

Fantastic experience: Thanks Tim for taking my call and letting me stage our team trailer!!! Ed Simmons Venturini Motorsports

Fantastic experience: This was the first time I've ever been to any race event of any kind. I didn't really know what to expect. It was a lot of fun. I'd recommend bringing some ear protection, especially for small children. The cars were quite loud. The last event of the night was a motor home towing a boat race. But, the race wasn't a traditional oval or round shape... it was a figure 8 shaped track. That's right... a race with an intersection. It was just meant to be fun. It wasn't a serious race. There were several close call misses throughout the race, and 1 motor home flipped over. Everyone was safe. But it was lots of fun to watch. Fireworks at the end of all the races. Tickets were $20 online, and parking was $10.

Negative experience: Went for opening day. Was insane the amount of time we had to wait in the parking lot to get out. It was like they didnt expect anyone to come or something. RUINED our night and the great show.

Positive experience: Attended opening night and enjoyed the car racing. My only criticism was that there were not enough food and beverage vendors so every line was dreadfully long. Wish they had concessions people selling drinks and snacks where the seats are.

Fantastic experience: Thursday night drag racing brings back memories of the old days but better. Family atmosphere and some good food

Negative experience: Casey Diemert meant a lot to so many people. Then when he DIED at this track and the festivities kept on going... LOST MY RESPECT

Fantastic experience: The nearest race track is open to the public on certain days. Great atmosphere and lots of cool events are held at the race track. Sometimes they'll do Christmas lights events for the children in the parking lots. They also have demolition derby's for those that enjoy a good ol' fashion carnage. I highly recommend wearing ear plugs or ear muffs if you don't want to go deaf lol

Fantastic experience: The Christmas light event every winter is a must. I don't know what we enjoy more, watching the light displays or my 3 year sons' reactions to them. Great holiday cheer!

Fantastic experience: .... I went with my nephew Mitchell, and met up with friends who were racing there, ran into my neighbor, met new friends, and people who were related to High School friends from 45+ years ago, I took a lot of cool pics, and had an awesome time...

Fantastic experience: Great time walking around viewing all the classic cars

Fantastic experience: Super fun

Fantastic experience: It was sooooo much fun! Beautiful lights! I loved it! ❤

Fantastic experience: It’s super pretty we love it next year we’ll come here

Fantastic experience: What can I say, Irwindale Speedway is the House of Drift. Legends have been made and rivalries have been started at this iconic Southern California track. The venue itself is classic: large grandstand, suites, and concessions. I’ve had the privilege of watching a few Formula DRIFT finales on these hallowed grounds. I definitely recommend bringing the family to a drift event or any motorsports competition at Irwindale Speedway. There isn’t a bad view in the house and the driver’s paddock is an intimate fan experience. The suites are climate controlled, have sinks, fridges, and TVs.

Fantastic experience: I was there for the nitro revival drag racing extravaganza some old front engined dragsters, altereds, funny cars and gassers, the cars and the drivers from a bygone era. It was a great nostalgia trip for us drag racers from the 50s,60s,70s, 80s and 90s. Have not been able to run for 3 years. No quarter mile tracks. Great exhibition!

Fantastic experience: I have been there couple times for the Thursday night drag race. Very enjoyable and fun

Fantastic experience: 1st timer - attended tonight’s “Haunted Night of Destruction” event. This place is a lot of fun! They put on a great show, it is reasonably priced, and it is very family oriented. Check it out!

Fantastic experience: If you have a chance to attend a demolition derby, DO IT! So much fun! Christmas Light experience is also a great time for all ages!

Fantastic experience: The yearly truck show is a must see. Vary spacious speedway and long drag strip coveniently located right off the freeway.

Negative experience: There's an extremelt unprofessional and inappropriate male that works here. Harasses young women and reaches into people's cars in an extremely aggressive manner without permission. Not okay at all.

Negative experience: The staff is unprofessional and cuss and cry like children. Saw one dude freak out in a girl cussing and crying about her not signing her name right even though she has raced under that name 20+ times before. Ive never seen grown man scared of a girl and a name before even though dudes sign their nicknames as well. Real methhead incel vibes

Negative experience: Nice place if you like the staff reaching in your car and ripping off your wristband for “not using your name as a signature”

Fantastic experience: Had a great time as always. Great racing the RV Demo was funnier than heck and the fireworks were very impressive.

Fantastic experience: It was fun. I took my kids to have fun. It was a great night.

Fantastic experience: Always fun, everbody always in a good mood at the track. Beer line too long

Fantastic experience: Game for Big Boys! You can race your car on Thursdays 5pm-10pm. Entrance $20 per person +$40 if you want to race your car. Must go for car check up first and do not forget to wear your racing helmet. Or just have fun watching other cars from all models and ages. Really fun! My boys like it too.

Fantastic experience: Had so much fun with my kids.The races and the RV derby+ fireworks. Good fun.

Fantastic experience: Get there early for OPEN SEATING in shade on hot days with refreshing breeze. Friendly staff guide you along.

Fantastic experience: Very fun place. Open track night is a blast. Crowd friendly. Family friendly. Affordable. Easy parking. Highly recomend supporting this track.

Fantastic experience: BEST MOTORSPORTS FACILITY IN CA!!!! Every Saturday night I go, they always put on a freaking awesome show!!! And it’s absolutely a pleasure!!! Great for families, race fans, kids, and etc!!! It’s also awesome that I got to know the owners of the facility, and they are all amazing to me whenever I go because of how much I love racing. I recommend anyone to come to this amazing facility because it never disappoints!!

Fantastic experience: Wow what a race this Saturday, my son and I had so much fun,we are going backhoe staff was absolutely awesome and respectful. Highly recommend this place if u have not gotten to go yet..this is my play ground...

Fantastic experience: I went with friends to the Irwindale "Night of Destruction," July 2, 2022. It was a GREAT night! 100-lap race, figure-8 race, skidplate race, destruction race, and WONDERFUL fireworks ... all for $25. I can't imagine how this could have been better, and the price was _reasonable!_ Very family-oriented, very patriotic. We all had a great time. Would _definitely_ recommend.

Fantastic experience: Always great fun. Best fireworks show anywhere

Fantastic experience: Great show!!! Tim and his crew really put their heart and soul into their circle track events!!!

Positive experience: Been here a few times for a few different activities. They have everything here from drive thru Xmas light show, car races, track racing, 1/8th of a mile, car shows, and drifting. Mostly come put for the car shows and it's a huge place to accommodate big or small events. Parking - If it's a big event and parking is full they will have shuttle service to a remote location that will take you about 30 to 45 min each way and that's annoying and a buzz kill. Overall it's a chill place and will come back unless I have to do the shuttle thing again.

Positive experience: The event was Fabulous Fords Forever and was a good venue for this annual celebration of all things Ford.
