Report: NASCAR Could Race at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles

For most of the past 25 years, NASCAR's Los Angeles-area home was a 2-mile oval in Fontana. Demolition of that track began after a 2023 race, and construction of a planned short track built on the property has still not been approved by series leadership. The series raced inside of the Los Angeles Coliseum in an exhibition race the past three years, but word in NASCAR circles suggests that the 2024 event may have been the venue's last. That leaves NASCAR without a home in or near one of the country's largest markets, but that might change soon.

Dodger Stadium, a baseball stadium on top of a hill surrounded by a massive parking lot that overlooks downtown Los Angeles, is among the candidates to replace both the Coliseum and the now-departed California Speedway, according to a report from Sports Business Journal. What that race could actually look like is unclear, but since NASCAR has no other known plan to race in L.A. in 2025, the plan could come together quickly.
