Transportation

Driving

Only 30 minutes from San Bernardino, and just over an hour from Los Angeles, you can reach the Perris Auto Speedway right off I-215. If you’re coming from the east, you can choose I-10, and you might take I-15 from the north or south. Remember to drive with caution when traveling on the curvy and narrow roads near the San Bernardino National Forest.

Parking areas

When driving a large rig, your best choice is camping at the Perris Auto Speedway campground during the World Of Outlaws Sprint Perris activities. You’ll be right there at the event and will not need to worry about parking. There is plenty of day parking at the track, though, for a small parking fee.

Public Transportation

The Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) operates several dozen bus routes throughout the county, including Perris and the surrounding areas. On some days, Route 19 may take you right to the fairgrounds. There is also a Metrolink, Amtrak, and taxi service. You may also want to use a rideshare app. If you camp at the speedway, you may have less need for public transportation.
