The fifth race on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season will take place in Fotana at Auto Club Speedway. There have been four different winners to start the Cup season and 2012 Champion Brad Keselowski has taken the top spot in the point standings.
Only 43 cars are on the entry list for the Auto Club 400 thus all will make the race unless there is a late addition. The No. 95 car of Levine Family Racing will not make the trip out to California which will guarantee Scott Riggs in the No. 44 and Mike Bliss in the No. 19 make the race.
The length of Sunday’s race will be 400 miles which equates to 200 circuits around the two-mile track.
