Les 'Coach' Richter, fondly known from his days coaching an Army football team while stationed at Fort Lewis Washington, was instrumental in the development of California Speedway, overseeing the project for Roger Penske from the demolition of the Kaiser Steel Mill, to its transformation into the first-class racing facility we all know today as Auto Club Speedway. The legacy of the man who passed away at the age of 79 in 2010 will forever be more than just a consortium of steel and concrete nestled along the picturesque mountains in the Inland Empire. It will be a shrine to his unrivaled dedication, passion and devotion.
