The new owners of Willow Springs Raceway are aiming to attract major racing series like IndyCar and IMSA to the Southern California road course in the future. CrossHarbor Capital Partners, led by Sam Byrne, are planning to bring the facility up to FIA standards with the help of Speedway Motorsports Inc. and track designer Alex Wurz, in order to host top-tier racing events. Byrne envisions Willow Springs becoming a hub for preseason testing and racing, with the potential to establish a Southern California version of Monterey Car Week. The comprehensive plans for the track’s development and upgrades will be unveiled in late September this year, with a focus on enhancing the infrastructure to host premier racing events and create a vibrant automotive culture in the region.
