After a particularly bad race at Bristol, the tour heads back west for its only (thankfully) visit to Auto Club Speedway.

Now with 100 fewer miles of painfully boring racing!

Cup: Auto Club 400 - Sunday @ 3:30pm ET on FOX (43 entries)
Nationwide: Royal Purple 300 - Saturday @ 5:30pm ET on ESPN (45 entries)

So was that last Fontana race a fluke or will this be the same?

Looking forward to this one, if only in expectation of a repeat of last year.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

you mean that race that had some good racing directly after the restarts for 3 laps and then sucked like all the other intermediate races? don't see why not, nothing changed.

Reading back through the thread, it doesn't give the impression that the racing was good only after the restarts.

Still, even if that is the case, it's an improvement on what it was before, and certainly an improvement on Bristol.

A track so shitty, even it doesn't want to have a race there.
