NASCAR Camping World Series West season opener
Back in 1982, the track known as All-American Speedway in Roseville hosted its last NASCAR Winston West Series.
The track was on the Placer County Fairgrounds back then, when it was a quarter-mile track. The track has been expanded, extending turns 3 and 4 by 75 feet, and is a third-mile oval. But it's been 25 year since a NASCAR race was held at the track.
The Winston West is now known as the NASCAR Camping World Series West, which begins its 13-race schedule Saturday night at All-American Speedway.
There were five old Winston West races at the track, the last won by Jim Brown in 1982. The other previous races were won by: Summer McKnight (1977), Jim Insolo (1978), Tim Williamson (1979) and Jim Robinson (1981).
The Camping World Series West is racing twice at the newly named Toyota Speedway at Irwindale: July 4 and Aug. 16.
