Despite all of the clues from a long string of rampant rumors, the recent announcement that said the Irwindale Speedway will be dark in 2012 was still stunning. On Monday, February 13th, a very simple, not to mention vague, statement was issued by Irwindale Speedway LLC CEO Jim Williams and track General Manage Bob DeFazio that said "the management of Irwindale Speedway today announced that the 2012 racing season has been cancelled."
This official announcement flew in the face of previous, and equally vague, website and social network statements, published all through January and early February, claiming there will be a 2012 racing season and the Irwindale staff were busy working on a 2012 racing schedule.
The reason for the 2012 cancellation became clearly evident later that same day when it was revealed that the Irwindale Speedway management had filed official Chapter 7 bankruptcy papers at the United States Bankruptcy Court, Central District.

the end of an era....the Pursuit meets were epic
BTW guys, Irwindale's MANAGEMENT company is what filed for bankruptcy, the track owner still wanna have races and still have the rights to the propery, so there's a chance to save it yet.
