IRWINDALE, Calif. (December 22, 2008) – TOYOTA Speedway at Irwindale released its 2009 oval track schedule today featuring a diverse lineup of activities which includes the NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown and the 69th Running of the Turkey Night Grand Prix – events that will kick off and conclude the 2009 North American Motorsports calendar.

The prestigious NASCAR Toyota All-Star Showdown is slated for January 23-24 and is considered the ‘Daytona 500 of short-track racing’. The event features two days of racing action among some of nation’s greatest short-track drivers in NASCAR Camping World Series and NASCAR Whelen All-American Series competition as well as drivers from other NASCAR series.
TOYOTA Speedway’s NASCAR Weekly racing series program gets underway on Saturday, March 21 with NASCAR Opening Night Presented by the Southern California Toyota Dealers. The event is part of the 32 event NASCAR Whelen All-American series featuring 13 racing divisions.
Among the schedule highlights is a special July 4th NASCAR Camping World Series West Series 200-lap race followed by a spectacular fireworks show.
The SRL Southwest Tour, a racing series comprised of former NASCAR Elite Division Touring cars is scheduled to conduct a 100-lap race on July 18.

The Speedway’s annual ‘Night of Destruction’ is scheduled for October 10 featuring Auto Soccer, Train and Trailer races.
Competitors who compete in the popular sport of Drifting identify TOYOTA Speedway as the ‘House of Drift’. The facility will live up to that moniker when it hosts the regular season finale for Formula Drift on October 17.
