Will NASCAR once again find its March Madness in California?

Car chases and bumper-to-bumper traffic don’t normally come to mind when one ponders the positives of life in California. But when NASCAR rolls into town, thousands of racing enthusiasts couldn’t be anymore pleased.

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series is set to invade Southern California this weekend for the 20th annual Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway. And if the past is any indication of what we can expect in the future, then we should be in for a wild race on Sunday.

It is no secret that the Fontana-based track has undergone a complete 180 in the past few years.
