Kyle Busch's move to Richard Childress Racing paid immediate dividends as he won Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California -- his 19th consecutive season with at least one victory.
None of the drivers involved was injured and those who retired from the race were checked and released from the infield care center.Auto Club Speedway’s racetrack seems to be adored by every professional driver on the continent.
“To me, it’s a driver’s dream,” Ryan Blaney said. “It’s a big racetrack. It’s incredibly wide. The progressiveness of each lane, the banking, is the right kind of degree change. Tires fall off. Indeed, the second race of the current Cup season will be the last before this beloved pavement is torn up, ostensibly to clear the way for a short-track course. Fontana won’t host a NASCAR weekend in 2024, and the new setup might not be ready until 2026, if it happens at all.
NASCAR, which owns and operates the facility, has been planning a short-track redesign since 2020 to service the latest trend in stock car racing. And any faint hope of a reprieve to preserve the current layout seemingly vanished earlier this week whenNASCAR has reached an agreement to sell about 80% of the large property for a nine-figure sum. It’s unclear whether the short-track plans would even happen under new ownership.
“Sad is probably the first reaction,” Joey Logano said. “But business is business, and how do you go against that? When you hear what some of the numbers were, how do you not take that?"
