Willow Springs Raceway Undergoes Major Safety, Track Renovations

Willow Springs International Raceway, the oldest permanent road course in the U.S., has undergone major renovations since being purchased in 2024 by CrossHarbor Capital Partners with input from Singer Vehicle Design. The upgrades include complete repaving of the 1.8-mile Streets of Willow Springs road course and the 0.625-mile kart track, addition of three new chicanes for improved safety and course extension, new curbs, expanded runoff areas, and a new green and off-white color scheme. Further safety enhancements such as tire barriers, Armco barriers, and air fencing are planned to be completed this fall. The renovations aim to modernize the historic facility while preserving its legacy and continuing to serve the motorsport community. A launch event, Willow Springs Reimagined, scheduled for October 11, will showcase the renovations and feature on-track demonstrations, rare car displays, and appearances from automotive personalities. The ownership group expressed commitment to maintaining public access and enhancing the venue as a premier destination for motorsport enthusiasts.
