The west coast swing for the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup season continues on Sunday, with all eyes on Southern Calfiornia, specifically Fontana for the Auto Club 400.

Each of the three winners the last three weeks has at least one Fontana victory, with Phoenix winner Kevin Harvick winning in 2011. Jimmie Johnson, who won in Atlanta three weeks ago, has two career Fontana wins (2002, 2010), while Las Vegas champ Brad Keselowski took home the checkered flag in last year’s Fontana race.

Fox kicks off pre-race coverage at 3 p.m. ET with NASCAR Sunday, with host Chris Myers and analysts Darrell Waltrip, Jeff Gordon and Michael Waltrip. Mike Joy will call the race, with coverage beginning at 3:30 p.m., and he’ll be joined in the booth by Gordon and Darrell Waltrip, plus reporting from Jamie Little, Chris Neville, Vince Welch and Matt Yocum.

The race can be followed online both before and during the action using Fox Sports Go. The race will be rebroadcast on television Monday at 3 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. on Fox Sports 1., and again at noon ET on Fox Sports 1.
