The fifth race of the 2018 NASCAR Cup Series season, the Auto Club 400, is set to take place on Sunday. Who will be driving in the race?

The Auto Club 400 is set to take place at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California this Sunday, as the drivers of the NASCAR Cup Series are currently preparing to qualify for the race that is set to feature 200 laps around the four-turn, 2.0-mile D-shaped oval.

Kyle Larson won last season’s race at Fontana in his #42 Chevrolet for Chip Ganassi Racing after starting from the pole position. In fact, in the three races on 2.0-mile ovals last season, which include the race at Fontana and the two races at Michigan, Larson went three for three in the wins category.

Larson has won each of the last four races on 2.0-mile ovals dating back to the second race in Michigan in the 2016 season.

However, Kevin Harvick enters this weekend’s race on his own streak. He has won each of the last three Cup Series races in his #4 Ford for Stewart-Haas Racing dating back to the Atlanta race three weeks ago. Can he win his fourth race in a row?

This weekend’s Cup Series field is set to feature 37 drivers, which is exactly how big the fields were in each of the last two races in Las Vegas and Phoenix.

However, that driver total of 37 is down by 5.13% from last year’s Fontana race, which featured a 39-car field.
