Fontana Preview

This week, NASCAR will complete it acclaimed "West-Coast Swing" at Auto Club Speedway in southern California. This track, known for 4 and 5 wide racing, worn out surface, and last lap finishes has made this a favorite among fans for racing. Here are some drivers to watch out for.
1. Kevin Harivck
Fresh of back-to-back wins at Vegas and Phoenix, Harvick returns to his home track where he won a nailbiter finish in 2011. But his last two finishes have been 13th and 36th, which could be a challenge if he wants to sweep the West Coast Swing.
2. Joey Logano
Always a contender at the 2-mile tracks, Logano is fresh of his 21st consecutive lead lap finish, tying Gordon and Earnhardt. He finished 3rd in 2013, in that famous battle between he and Hamlin. He's also had huge success at the sister track, Michigan where he's won and had several top 5's. Could this be the weekend he stop the Hendrick engine winning streak of 2015?
3. Kyle Larson
Larson shook the NASCAR world, when he won his first XFINITY race last year (then Nationwide) , holding off Harvick and Kyle Busch. Then in the Cup race, he was runner up to Kyle Busch in that great battle for the checkered flag. Will he be able to get the elusive first win at Auto Club Speedway this weekend?
