This maybe the last one as the track has possibly sold.

It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

There will not be new owners running a track. The track has a non transferable lease with the current owner Dave Smith, who has had a very bad year health wise. If and when he passes and or leaves the track will be no more.

To prevent the spread of misinformation on social media, we’d like to send out this official announcement: Due to the influx of rumors going around about the potential closure of Sacramento Raceway, we would like to issue an official SRP statement with full transparency for our valued racers and patrons who have supported the track for more than 5 decades. There is a potential buyer lined up for the land that SRP owns and operates. The sale is by no means official yet, and we will issue a statement if and when it is. We understand how frustrating this can be for you all and we will update you as soon as possible this season. The current timeline is around September of 2023…we will know whether or not the sale is official. If at that point in time it does go through, we will finish out the remainder of the 2023 season and SRP would be officially closed by 2024. If the sale does not go through, we will continue operating for as long as possible. We appreciate all your support and whether or not the sale goes through, we hope to see you at the track this season! Offical Sacramento Raceway Page.

The announcemtn is old but accurate. Dave has had a lot of health issues this year. I would not expect Sac Raceway to continue to be a dragstrip for that much longer. So go enjoy it while you can and keep supporting the facility.

Been pretty well known since the last lease was signed.
