NASCAR's planned Fontana short track still not under way

Fans of NASCAR in Southern California have been waiting for a planned short track to replace Auto Club Speedway, which was demolished after its final race in February 2023. Kyle Busch won that last Cup race on the ageing two-mile surface, which hosted top-level events every year from 1997.

The replacement track has yet to be built. NASCAR president Steve O'Donnell has said that constructing the new facility will be a real challenge, according to the report's headline.
