Mesa Marin Raceway was half-mile (0.8 km) oval speedway located in Bakersfield, California and hosted the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series from 1995 and 2003. The track was owned and operated by Gary Collins. In 2005, the track was demolished after an ownership change to developers.
A replacement track, co-owned between Dan Smith and James Vernon, is currently under construction. The construction of Kern County Raceway Park began in 2006 and was scheduled to open in 2008, but construction was halted because of the 2008 financial crisis. Afterward, the completion of the track was delayed to 2013.

Famous quotes containing the word mesa:
“This mesa plain had an appearance of great antiquity, and of incompleteness; as if, with all the materials for world-making assembled, the Creator had desisted, gone away and left everything on the point of being brought together, on the eve of being arranged into mountain, plain, plateau. The country was still waiting to be made into a landscape.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
