Fontana highlight
Auto Club Speedway
A 2-mile D-shaped oval speedway that operated from 1997 to 2023, built on the former Kaiser Steel mill site and hosting NASCAR and IndyCar races for a quarter century.
Auto Club Speedway opened in June 1997 as a 2-mile D-shaped oval track constructed on the site of the former Kaiser Steel mill. The facility hosted NASCAR Cup Series races, IndyCar competitions, and other racing events for 26 years, drawing thousands of spectators for major events and supporting jobs throughout the region. The track became known as a fast circuit where drivers competed for some of motorsports' most prestigious victories.
The speedway's location in the Inland Empire made it accessible to racing fans across Southern California and a significant part of the region's sports and entertainment landscape. Families made the track a destination for major race weekends, creating traditions around the annual events and the competitive spirit that motorsports bring. The facility contributed economic activity through employment, visitor spending, and its role as a regional gathering place.
For families who made the speedway part of their annual traditions, planning for the unexpected is part of being responsible. The working households of Fontana—whether in racing, automotive support, hospitality, or any other industry—depend on stable income to cover mortgages, children's education, and long-term goals. A term life policy sized to your real obligations ensures that those plans remain intact for the people who depend on you.
