Saturday’s
California Lightning Sprint Car Series Race At
Ventura Canceled By Fairgrounds Construction
Torrance, CA – May 29, 2025 — Due to
construction on the Ventura County Fairgrounds,
this Saturday’s California Lightning Sprint Car
Series race, presented by Motor City Buick/GMC,
has been canceled.
The official statement
from the Ventura Raceway reads as follows.
“Well, folks, it's happened again. Unfortunately,
we will be cancelling this weekend's races because
of the ongoing construction. Open trenches,
damaged sewer lines (leaving us without
restrooms), and basically no access for haulers
won't be fun for anybody!! We are hoping to
reschedule this event, so stay posted. On a
positive note, the actual work is beginning to
make progress and in the end should be much better
for us and the fairgrounds. There will be plenty
of hookups and power in the new lot, and lots more
lighting. We would like to thank the city of
Ventura and the Ventura County Fairgrounds for
helping to accommodate all the unforeseen changes
being made; everyone on site is working their
tails off.”
The CLS returns to action a
week from Saturday, June 7th, when it makes its
second appearance of the 2025 season at the
Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick’s Kern
Raceway. The series will return to Ventura on June
21st.
CLS Raffle News: The CLS is excited
to announce that Outlaw Wings has donated a free
top wing to be raffled off on October 25th. Raffle
tickets are just $5 and will be available at all
CLS events throughout the season.
