Do you like the new name and logo for Fontana?

Question

I loved the old name and logo, California Speedway, with the crossed searchlights like old Hollywood. Now it's just BLAH AAA with checkerboard.

I live 10 miles from the speedway, so I"m there twice a year. I prefer the Nationwide series to the Sprint. Not so huge a crowd and seating is more comfortable. I know they've remodeled some since last spring...can't wait for tomorrow to see what's happened.

GO CARL!!!!

Answer 1

it drives me crazy trying to remember the changed names of things and as soon as i learn one then it changes again.  

i have actually got into nationwide a lot this year.  i have enjoyed all three for different reasons, truck, nationwide and cup.

have fun..my once a year live race is homestead which is 1 hr away from me.

Answer 2

I really don't care for it when the tracks change their name to accommodate corporate sponsorship. I don't like it in Football and Baseball, either. I don't call Sonoma/Sears Point  Infineon, and I will continue to refer to California as California or Fontana.

And you're right, that new logo is really drab. They paid someone a lot of money to come up with that. You'd think it could be a little more creative.

Have fun at the race! I'm jealous, but then I'm jealous every week when someone says they're going to the race. If I win the lottery, I'm going to every single one! :-)

Answer 3

Enoy the race tomorrow and good luck to Carl but the logo was the most exciting part of that track and now that's gone...

Answer 4

The new name...eh not so much. I kinda don't like when corps./co.s buy into tracks and rename them, but I guess thats how it is these days...

Answer 5

I'm still calling it California Speedway and I probably will be for the next 10 years.

Answer 6

I do agree that the old logo looked much better; the new one is just so bland.

I still call it California Speedway and that will probably never change. Just like I refer to Toyota Speedway at Irwindale as just Irwindale Speedway.

Sponsors can buy those tracks and change the names all they want but I will still be calling them California and Irwindale, as will a lot of other people I'm sure.
