“I think the biggest challenge at Auto Club Speedway are the bumps on the backstretch getting into turn three. That and the seams are really slick, but the track is so wide, with multiple groves to race on; it’s a really fun track. Also, the tire fall-off is pretty significant there, so you really need to manage the tires throughout a long run. If the car is good it makes for a really fun race because there are so many grooves that you can run. If you’re having a tough weekend, it’s a miserable place because the track is so wide, you can’t hide.”
