Open Race Thread: NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Auto Club 400 | Auto Club Speedway

I haven’t checked the weather, but I hope those scary looking clouds from yesterday have moved on and we can get the full race in today.

Montoya grabbed the pole but honestly I think that will be the only time you see him up front all day, he just doesn’t do well at this track - statistically speaking of course.

Look for Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth, Jeff Gordon, and Carl Edwards to dominate the day. Today’s winner will come from that group and the way the new Ford motors are running I’m thinking the winner might be driving a Ford.

Starting line up is here (via nascar.com)

See you on the other side, in the comment area of course.
