California Speedway

California Auto Club Speedway has a history that you might expect a track just 50 miles from Hollywood to have.

The speedway sits on a 568-acre site that once hosted the first steel mill located west of the Rocky Mountains, Kaiser Steel Mill.

The mill produced the steel that helped build the Liberty ships used by the Allies to win World War II.

A series of storms will impact California later this week into next...

The first storm will hit later Friday and Friday night with several more to follow. The storms will produce moderate to heavy rainfall through central and southern portions of the state which raises the specter of flooding and mudslides.

Right now they are predicting that rain will be spotty Friday night through Saturday and that Sunday will fall between storms and will likely be dry .

Silly Season begins early (with a tip of the hat to WestCoastGal because I was in the air when this came down)...

Todd Parrott replaces Drew Blickensderfer as Kenseth's crew chief.
