Southern California - no place to drag race in the birthplace of drag racing

The Irwindale Speedway was in danger of closing several times, including an occurrence in 2012, when parent company Irwindale Speedway LLC filed bankruptcy. The track re-emerged as the Irwindale Event Center in 2013. That same year, the facility was sold to Lindom Properties. In 2015, Irwindale Outlet Partners, LLC received permission to build a 700,000 square foot strip mall on the property. Another closing announcement went out in 2017 before Huddleston and Bruncati took over management of the facility late that year, giving the venue new life. The chances of someone else stepping up to the plate to continue running the business this time around seems unlikely. A report by CBS News states that the speedway’s 63-acre parcel changed ownership two years ago and developers plan to transform it into an industrial park following the 2024 season.
I just googled the track's address and on Google page 2 right there from City of Irwindale website shows what a company called Irwindale Outlet Partners 3270 Inland Empire Blvd, Ste 400 wants to built there:
