The new 85 acre state-of-the-art raceway project is located at the intersection of Interstate 5 and Highway 43 west of Bakersfield.

“We have a great team assembled who have done a tremendous amount of work on the project to this point, everything is ready, so after Thursday’s hearing we hope to shift the project into high gear and start working toward our first race.” Collins added.

Thursday’s Planning Commission Hearing is scheduled to begin a 7pm at the Chambers of the Kern County Supervisors, 1115 Truxtun Avenue.
