NASCAR Auto Club Speedway Schedule: Dates, Times, and Qualifiers

auto club speeday establishing shot

Let’s go five-wide one last time.

As NASCAR rolls into Southern California for the final time. Sure, stock car racing will return to Fontana, Calif., but likely not until 2025. And when the circuit returns, drivers will race on a completely new-look track.

A superspeedway since 1997, the two-mile, low-banked, D-shaped oval will be replaced by a half-mile short track.

Kyle Larson captured last season’s spring event. Look for the California native and 2021 Cup Series champion to rebound from Sunday’s overtime crash during the Daytona 500.
