The track offers multiple configurations,[2] with the configuration "Race #13 CW" being the most popular. Many time attack series, most notably Super Lap Battle, hold their events with the 13CW configuration.

The Super Lap Battle is a time attack event held at Buttonwillow since 2004.

The track was repaved in July 2014.[citation needed]

A new, technical circuit is scheduled to finish construction in 2023. The addition will include a new tower building, Tesla Supercharger stations, and new garages. The new track will be named as "The Circuit", with the original track being renamed as "The Classic".[3]
