The Race Weekend

August 29, 2008

Yesterday licked off the huge NASCAR weekend at the Auto Club Speedway in Ontario, California. Remember that there will be a great deal of traffic on the freeways as NASCAR fans come from near and far to enjoy this big event. The kickoff was yesterday with the Stater Brothers Racefest. Today NASCAR Sprint practice and qualifying is ongoing as are the NASCAR Nationwide practice and qualifying. During the day Saturday these practice and qualifying events will be continuing.

At 7:30 p.m. the NASCAR Nationwide Camping World RV Service 300 will occur with 150 laps around the race track. Then on Sunday at 5 p.m. the NASCAR Sprint Cup Pepsi 500 will begin; 250 laps for 500 miles.

On Saturday the parking lot opens at 9 1.m. and on Sunday the parking lot opens at 7 a.m. The FanZone gates open Saturday at noon and on Sunday at 11 a.m.

NASCAR racing has become a huge sporting event and literally thousands of fans will be enjoying the beautiful weather that makes Inland Southern California such a desirable spot to live or visit.

Have a safe Labor day weekend.
