Scott
Schweitzer and his wife Chrissy owned Bakersfield Speedway for twenty
two years, closing it and moving the operation to Kevin Harvick's Kern
County Raceway in 2025. Over the years they hosted sprint cars, stock
cars, midgets, modifieds, motorcycles and even lawn mower races. The
track itself had been around for eighty years, dirt, paved, then dirt
again.
Scott and Chrissy Schweitzer's daughter, Bailey, was killed in the Harvest Festival mass shooting in Las Vegas in 2017. They started the Bailey Schweitzer Memorial Scholarship through Centennial High – Bailey’s alma mater.
