The project originally had the title of "Kern County's New Home to NASCAR", and eventually was coined "Kern River Raceway". It was to feature a progressively-banked 1/2 mile oval track with a 1/4 mile oval along the front stretch. A 1/8 mile drag strip was also planned for the site.

UPDATE - The incomplete facility was left untouched until a group of local investors bought the track in 2012. The final tasks to complete the construction are underway, and the track has planned its grand opening on April 20, 2013.
