IRWINDALE, California – Irwindale Speedway’s 10th season of oval track racing will commence on March 22 with a diverse lineup of activities that includes thirty Whelen All-American NASCAR Weekly Racing Series events. The schedule is tentative as additional major events will be added and announced at a later date. It features sanctioned events by NASCAR, D1 Grand Prix, Formula Drift, USAC and the SRL.

The Speedway’s NASCAR racing series kicks off the season on Saturday, March 22 featuring sixteen racing divisions. The schedule is highlighted by two NASCAR Camping World West Series (formerly NASCAR Grand National Division) events including a special 4th of July (Friday) event featuring a 200-lap race, an Auto Club Late Model 100-lap race followed by a spectacular fireworks show. A second NASCAR Camping World Series event is scheduled on August 16.

The Flashco SRL Southwest Tour, a racing series comprised of former NASCAR Elite Division Touring cars will make its debut at Irwindale Speedway on April 26 featuring a 100-lap race

On November 15, the Speedway will host its Figure 8 World Championships which attracts many of figure 8 racing’s top national Outlaw Figure 8 racers who will compete in a one-hour race. The event includes a Demolition Derby, Super Truck open race and some surprises.

Competitors who compete in the popular sport of Drifting identify Irwindale Speedway as the “House of Drift”. The facility will live up to that moniker by hosting three events in 2008. The D1 Grand Prix will conduct two events at the Speedway including its November 22-23 Japan series season finale and World Championship match. The date for a second D1GP event will be announced in the near future.

Formula Drift will hold its Championship Finale at the Speedway with the date of the event to be announced upon finalization of its 2008 schedule.

USAC’s Sprint and Midget cars and the Ford Focus Midget series will provide an entertaining night of racing during the 68th Running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix. The event is expected to attract a number of motor racing’s stars including those from NASCAR and USAC.
