The Auto Club 400 is a stock car race which is 400 miles in length. Sponsored by Monster Energy, this NASCAR Cup Series is held annually in March at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. The first Auto Club 400 race was held in 1997.

About the Auto Club 400

Before 2005, the Auto Club 400 race used to be held at the end of April or beginning of May. In 2005, the NASCAR Realignment moved the race to February, to be held the week following the Daytona 500. It stayed this way until 2011 when the date was permanently moved to March.

Furthermore, up until 2010, the race used to run a length of 500 miles. NASCAR decided to change the length of the race after seeing how well shortening of the track had turned out in other races such as the Pepsi Max 400 (which previously used to be 500). Therefore, the Auto Club Speedway changed the length of the spring race from 500 miles to 400 miles.

The defending champion of the Auto Club 400 from 2016 is Jimmie Johnson. Who will be crowned the champion in 2017?
