NASCAR Weekend
August 31, 2007
Labor Day weekend has become THE WEEKEND in the Inland Empire of California. If you are a NASCAR fan, and it seems this is a growing group, the California Speedway in Ontario is the place to be. Today, Friday, August 31, the FanZone gates opened at 8:00 A.M. From 8:30 A.M. to 11:20 A.M. the Busch Series practice will be testing the track. From 11:30 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. the Nextel Cup Series drivers will practice followed by the Nextel Cup Series qualfying round at 3:10 P.M. The final run of Friday will be the Busch Series qualifying round at 5:10 P.M.
On Saturday, September 1, the FanZone gates will open at noon. The scheduled Nextel Cup Series practices will begin at 4:00 P.M. and end by 6:10 P.M. At 7:00P.M. the Busch Series race will begin. It is a 300 mile race of 150 laps.
On Sunday, September 2, the FanZone gates will open at 10:00 A.M. The Nextel Cup Series race will start at 5:00 P.M. It is a 500 mile race of 250 laps.
Lots of fun and excitement going on for 3 days. For non-race fans, pay attention to the above times as traffic on I-10 and I-15 will certainly be impacted until the races start and then when the fans leave at the end of the day. If you attend the races, put on the sun screen, take lots of water and enjoy Southern California.
