Key information for Sunday’s NASCAR Cup race at Auto Club Speedway

Prepare to get a little nostalgic.

Sunday marks the last NASCAR race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, until at least 2025. And when (or if) the series does return, the facility will look dramatically different.

Plans had been in place to transform the 2-mile oval located in California’s Inland Empire into a short track though the timetable has been delayed. New reports surfaced this week that NASCAR has closed on a major real-estate sale of dozens of acres of land on the site.

The only certainty is that next year there will be no race at the track formerly known as California Speedway for the first time since it opened in 1997. So, enjoy the last hurrah at a track that has become a favorite of drivers in recent years.

Here is all the information you need to get ready for Sunday’s Pala Casino 400:
