What is your favorite thing(s) about nascar track california speedway?

May be...

It's a big, fast race track and that's about it.

The finish. Then the most boring race of the season is over, and they're off to one of the most exciting. I can't stand that track. It's very boring to me.

Lots of parking...We never had problems finding a spot close to the gate..

that i won't be there in the heat again this year... nor sitting in the rain watching them try to deal with the "weepers" on the track.

and that i can go on thursday nights to the racefest and have a good time for free, including visiting all the merchandise trailers and getting some driver autographs and pictures. i can see and do most everything i want (from that track) on that night. then i can come back home and watch practice, qualifying, and the races from the comfort of my own home...

the Speed

It's out west. Most of the tracks are back east and it's slim pickin's out here.

Lot of things I like about Fontana.

Here's a small list:

A) Drivers having to deal with dry and hot weather.
B) Santa Ana winds moving the car around.
C) The undulating track surface making it difficult to get through the turns.
D) The hanging RPMS(high speeds).
E) It's not your basic "cookie cutter" shape.
F) The way the cars travel close to the wall.
G) Heat is a factor on crew and motors.
H) The infamous hot dog wrappers.
I) A lot of stars show up for the race.
J) The background view of the mountains.


It's not a track for the weak drivers. Better come with your "A" game or you'll get chewed up and spit out by lap 40.


side note:
Run for your life "David G". Gustave is coming. Hunker down and good luck.

multiple grooves
atmosphere
the race to the chase
it's fast

hmm that it was the final scene in Terminator 2
before it was made into a race track

It's in Sadler win column, other than that, bleh!

Cant think of anything I really like about the track

Still have a hard time accepting the fact that there is no more racing at Rockingham because Cali needed one more race.

That it IS NOT HOSTING the Labor Day weekend NEXT YEAR. Not meaning to bash Cali fans....but it's on my least favorite list. Just an opinion of course. Mainly the track design and NOT it's location.

aka Auto Club Speedway of Southern California, aka Fontana, etc

I like the way some of the drivers run out of room, coming off turn 4

its in california

the speeds. more then one groove. alot of side by side racing. and the roush fenway cars run good there. and kenseth is amzazing there.

Fontana is where Kyle got his FIRST cup win in 2005!! It made him the youngest Cup winner ever.


And it hasn't stopped since!!!

I like that Kenseth typically runs very well there. Other than that, its all negative. So Darlington loses The Southern 500 on Labor Day weekend. The Rock has zero races yet in return we get see 2 races at Fontana?! They cant even sell the place out.
