Buttonwillow Raceway Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Buttonwillow Raceway Park is a motorsports park in Kern County, 28 miles northwest of Bakersfield, California. Owned and operated by the California Sports Car Club, a region of SCCA, Buttonwillow is the "flagship" track of Cal Club, and is also the location of the Club's administrative offices.
Located in the central part of California, Buttonwillow Raceway is approximately 4-5 hours drive from San Francisco and San Diego, and approximately 2-3 hours from Los Angeles. It is located 1/2 mile west of Interstate 5 on Lerdo Highway, and its main feature - the race control tower - can be seen from at least two miles going either direction on the interstate. When events are held here, most stay either in RVs or fifth-wheel trailers on the track grounds, or in the hotels ten miles to the south, on Highway 58.
