Fuel Mileage Is Important:
Since it opened in 1997 Auto Club Speedway in California has hosted all three of NASCAR's top touring series.

Due to the wide racing surface most races in California have very few cautions. As a result many Sprint Cup races have come down to fuel mileage battles where one or two drivers manage the race on one less pit stop to cruise to an easy win.

You need a fast car, fast pit stops, a smart crew chief and an efficient engine builder to win at Auto Club Speedway in California.
