FEBRUARY 22, 2023… Officials with the USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series and The Dirt Track at Kern County Raceway Park (KCRP) have announced that Saturday’s season opener has been cancelled. Options for a possible make-up date are being explored.
As mild rain has already approached the speedway, heavy showers are expected overnight and through the weekend. Those rains will affect the nearby areas and forecasted snowfall will affect several key mountain passes and highways used by teams and fans.
The non-winged 360s will now open their campaign at Bakersfield Speedway on Saturday, April 8th. For more event information, visit bakersfieldspeedway.com.
The USAC West Coast Sprint Car Series thanks BR Motorsports, Competition Suspension Incorporated, Extreme Mufflers, Hoosier Racing Tires, Rod End Supply, Saldana Racing Products, Wilwood Disc Brakes, and Woodland Auto Display for their support.
