Ontario Motor Speedway was located east of Los Angeles; the oval was a 2.5 mile duplicate of Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and an infield road course and a quarter mile dragstrip were added. Despite hosting Indy Cars and NASCAR it was never a financial success, and in response to rising property values it was sold to developers.
