Looks like the February NASCAR race down the road in Fontana has been moved, could the Winternationals be cancelled and if so would they run a makeup race in Vegas (or my wish) Phoenix or would it be scrubbed completely?
Wild Horse in Phoenix still has their race as "tentative". But I would love to see the Winternats there. AHRA used to hold their Wimternats at Beeline, so maybe NHRA could start a new trend.

They tore the tower down a couple years ago. I use to drive by it everyday when I worked at Fort McDowell, all of a sudden one day it was gone.Thanks Zed. I live in the West Valley but I know about where that gas station is. I still remember the "old" Beeline Hiway, before they updated it to what it is now, nice 2 lanes on each side (used to be 1 lane). When I first moved to Phoenix in 1986 I took a drive & saw the old tower from Beeline. Don't know if it is still there but it was pretty ratty back then. I moved to AZ in 1981, lived in Nogales, Tucson & then Phx. Went to races at the old Tucson strip, then Firebird (Wild Horse) & the "new" Tucson track, which is what, 30 years old???
NASCAR, who now owns the Auto Club Speedway, wants to downsize the track to like a one mile oval and has petition the county for the change. this may be why the change of venue if not for the pandemic.
Rumor around So Cal is that the drag strip is going away for good this time, but I haven't seen anything official yet.
