NASCAR: Five Drivers Most Likely To Win At Auto Club
By Cole Mentzel
NASCAR is set to finish it’s three-race swing to the west this weekend at Auto Club. Check out the five drivers who are most likely to win on Sunday.
NASCAR’s west coast road trip has been fun as we’ve seen great finishes at both Las Vegas and Phoenix. Now, the Sprint Cup Series heads to Auto Club for the fifth race of the season.
Auto Club, which opened in 1997, will be the first 2.0-mile track that the Cup Series visits. With it’s low banking and wide turns, the track offers the opportunity to race three-wide and sometimes even four-wide, depending on what happens during the restarts.
Auto Club also has the capability of providing fans with some wild finishes. In last year’s race at the track, Brad Keselowski was able to hold off Kurt Busch and Kevin Harvick on the second attempt at a green-white-checkered finish. With late drama, including wrecks by Kyle Larson and Greg Biffle, the race had a thrilling ending.
So far throughout the season, we have seen four different winners (Denny Hamlin, Jimmie Johnson, Brad Keselowski, Kevin Harvick). With a fourth of the Chase grid already full, another new Cup Series winner could make things even more interesting.
Take a look at the five drivers with the best shot of winning this weekend.
