Our Team has more than 160 members, drawn from fire agencies throughout Southern California. Our mission for the Safety Team is: "To deliver to our competitors, guests, and co-workers, the highest level of professional fire and rescue services, while at the Auto Club Speedway".

Coming up, we are having the Pepsi Max 400 event here at the Auto Club Speedway October 8-10, 2010. We will continue to support the numerous racing school and race teams throughout the year as they prepare for future events at our facility.
