Irwindale Speedway will be back in action later this month at its drag strip.

The NHRA's street-legal drag racing has just been given the green light and is back on schedule in Irwindale after many weeks away. The hot eighth-mile drag strip at Irwindale is all set to starting to lighting up the night again on Thursday, April 26.

Irwindale has been in a state of flux the early part of 2012, but is working to ensure a positive future.
