Fontana’s Auto Club Speedway Speedway’s 2-mile track is all set to host its final NASCAR Xfinity Series race on February 25 before it undergoes a major revamp. NASCAR has finalized its plan of revamping the speedway from a two-mile circuit to a much shorter half-mile track.

With the project about to kick off in the coming months, the Auto Club Speedway would not be a part of the 2024 NASCAR calendar.

Xfinity Series driver Jeffery Earnhardt recently appeared on The Dale Jr. Download podcast alongside uncle Dale Earnhardt Jr and aunt Kelley Earnhardt Miller. During the conversation, Dale Jr expressed his disappointment about not being able to get a spot in the upcoming race at the Auto Club Speedway. He also expressed envy towards Jeffrey, who will get an opportunity to bid adieu to the old track during the upcoming race.
