Back then it was called the
California 500, and it featured 21 lead changes
among over a dozen different drivers. Prior to 2005,
the race was held in May, but when NASCAR realigned
the schedule that year, the race was moved to
February on the race calendar.
California Speedway has hosted a variety of racing
events since then, including the Auto Club 500 and
the Sony HD 500. Matt Kenseth won the Auto Club 500
in 2006. Previous Auto Club 500 winners include Kurt
Busch, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, and Rusty
Wallace.
In 2010, Four-time defending Sprint Cup champion,
Jimmie Johnson, was favored to win the 2010 Auto
Club 500 and if you bet the favorite you won some
free spending cash.
Jimmie Johnson held off a hard charging Kevin
Harvick to claim the win. Harvick caught Johnson
with four laps to go but slid up into the wall and
knocked himself out of contention for the win.
Johnson took the checkered flag uncontested in front
of half-full stands.
In 2009, Daytona 500 champion Matt Kenseth
has taken the title at this race on three different
occasions. Jeff Gordon and Matt Kenseth are the only
drivers in NASCAR that have one this particular race
three times.
The Auto Club 500 is a 500 mile NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series stock car race held at the Auto Club Speedway
in Fontana, California, and the first of two annual
races held at the Auto Club Speedway; the other
being the
Pepsi 500. This is a very fast, state of
the art super speedway that is perfect for wide open
driving and pretty clean racing, at least by NASCAR
odds standards.
