Auto Club 500
Sun, February 21, 2010
Auto Club Speedway
Fontana, CA
The Auto
Club 500 is a 500 miles (804.7 km) long
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race
held at the Auto Club Speedway in
Fontana, California. The second race of
the Sprint Cup season and is one of two
races held at the Auto Club Speedway,
the other being the Pepsi 500. |
|
Prior to 2005, the race was held in late April
or early May. When the NASCAR Realignment of
that year was made, the race was moved to
February. Squeezing right in between the Daytona
500 and the Shelby 427 on the NASCAR schedule,
this race has seen some of the biggest names in
NASCAR cruise to the finish line. Matt Kenseth
took it in 2006 and 2007, Greg Biffle in 2005,
and Jeff Gordon in 2004.
This race is for all of the 500 miles and
consists of about 250 laps. Besides having to
contend with other drivers trying their best to
take the lead, each and every driver must
literally have nerves of steel to compete
efficiently in this race.
The Auto Club Speedway has a length of about 2
miles and with a D shaped oval and sharp turns
at 14 degrees, one can see why many a driver
would have some problems navigating the turns at
the bottom half. This race first began in 1997
and ever since then, there have been a few
fatalities on this track as a result of which
certain modifications have taken place here. The
end result is a track that is so easy to drive
fast in but one that certainly starts telling on
the driver after a matter of a few laps. This
track also has an infield road course which has
been used for the other races as well. The track
has a front stretch of about 3100 feet and a
back stretch of about 2500 feet, wrapping the
front end at 11 degrees and the back end at 3
degrees.

prestige, fan base, prize money, importance and devotion.

stock car race staged on the Daytona Beach, Fla., road course
on February 15.

regulars who participate. And some drivers even choose to
spend their entire racing careers in the NASCAR series. Today,
