Riverside International Raceway - CA Tickets

Venue background: Riverside International Raceway opened on September 22, 1957, and hosted notable events such as the United States Grand Prix (F1) in 1960, NASCAR Winston Cup/Winston Western 500, the Budweiser 400, and the Trans-Am Series. The site evolved over time, serving as Riverside Regional Raceway for club events after 1989 before the land was redeveloped into Moreno Valley Mall (opened 1992). The current campus at 22255 Eucalyptus Ave supports the mall’s day-to-day operations with ample parking and public transit access.

Seating and viewing: There is no single fixed track seating configuration today since the site is a mall rather than a continuous active racecourse. When events occur at nearby venues or pop-up displays related to the track’s history, seating information is provided by the event host. For general mall events, standard mall seating and temporary viewing areas may be used in designated zones by event organizers.

Parking: The Moreno Valley Mall provides ample parking for visitors, with approximately 6,500 spaces available. Parking access is designed to handle the regular mall traffic as well as event-related spikes. If you’re attending a specific event or show near the former raceway site, plan for typical weekend peak times and allow extra time to find parking close to your destination within the mall complex.

Transportation: Public transit to the Towngate area is available via Riverside Transit Agency routes serving Moreno Valley Mall, including Route 11 Moreno Valley Loop. Plan your trip with current schedules and allow time for transfer options if you’re coming from surrounding cities. If you’re driving, note that the site is now the mall complex, with multiple entry points and clearly marked parking areas.
