Auto Club Speedway is hosting their 33rd NASCAR Cup Series race. The speedway is located in Fontana, California and hosted 2 races per season from 2004-2010. The 2-mile tri-oval has an asphalt racing surface with 14 degrees of banking in each turn, 11 degrees on the front and 3 degrees on the backstretch. The track first opened in 1997, the Cup Series held its inaugural race and the hometown favorite Jeff Gordon won. Hendrick Motor Sports is the team with the most wins (11). Jimmie Johnson has won here 6 times.

Sunday will be the last race held on the 2 mile track. Pending approval, NASCAR will next race here on a short 1/2 mile track, but that probably won't be ready until the 2025 season at the earliest.

Sunday's race starts at 3:30pm Eastern and features 200 laps around the 2 mile track (400 mi).

Rain postponed Xfinity race till Sunday. Cup qualifying rained out. Winter Weather Advisory until 4AM tomorrow. Weather should give a window for racing before the next rain/weather rolls in ...

Cloudy, breezy, and mid 40’s. Ground is pretty wet under the track … could be dealing with weepers, but we are ready to go racing!

Larson in early for unknown issue. Looses 2 laps. Competition caution and Larson gets a lap back.

Stage 2 starts with a flurry. Truex held in the pit for 2 laps because a wheel fell off. Allmendinger spins out and the LaJoie takes a ride. I have class, so I will check in after the race is over.
