FONTANA, CA – “You buy the whole seat but you only need the edge.” That pretty much sums up the kind of action that played out again at Auto Club Speedway on Sunday. NASCAR’s final event of its three race “West Coast Swing” saw big wrecks, exciting racing, and an overtime finish, in a spectacle that is already being dubbed the best of the year.
Austin Dillon led the field to the green flag for the 20th annual Auto Club 400. The action didn’t take long to heat up, as with the wide racing groove that the Fontana track presents, cars immediately spread out high and low at sometimes four and five wide.
