Steel City R/C Speedway to close in late 2022

A statement on social media has just announced that the famous Steel City R/C Speedway will have to shut down at the end of 2022 after 5 years and the hosting of major events such as the world 1/8th on-road championship.

With sad hearts we must inform everyone of the closing of Steel City R/C Speedway at the end of the 2022 racing season. This closure is a result of NASCAR’s redevelopment of the Auto Club Speedway property. The current facility is approximately 560 acres of which about 100 acres will be utilized for the new race track configuration. The remaining area is being developed with commercial and industrial type buildings. NASCAR is partnered with Hillwood Development, a Perot Company, that will be creating « Speedway Commerce Center ».

What an amazing 5 years it has been hosting some of the worlds most prestigious r/c events, having great on track racing, and most importantly making memories with family and friends. We hope you can all join us during our last 3 months for some racing as we close out our time as SCS. We have not given up yet and will look for property to rebuild SCS in hopefully the near future.
