NASCAR has confirmed that it has not sold the remaining 90 acres of the California Speedway property, despite conflicting reports of a sale. A quitclaim deed circulating on social media led to speculation that NASCAR had divested its interest in the property. However, NASCAR clarified that the deed involved the cancellation of an easement rather than a sale. The California Speedway, which ceased operations in 2023, saw NASCAR previously sell 433 acres of its 522-acre land. Plans for a new short track project at the site have been paused since 2025.
