“This track to me is a combination of Chicago and Kansas. The banking is a lot like Kansas and the front straightaway and the way you go into the corner reminds me of Chicago. It’s just a little bumpier in the bottom lane. It will be interesting to see where the Cup cars end up running – if most will run the bottom or if they will move up to the middle and high grooves.”
Joey Logano, winner of the last three Kentucky Nationwide races from the pole, comparing Kentucky Speedway to tracks the Cup series run on.

Even though it’s a two-mile track, Auto Club Speedway is also banked 14 degrees like Kentucky. For my preview I referenced the Fontana race and the recent Kansas event (which is also the most similar 1.5-mile track) as well as Chicago, even though they aren’t running there until the start of the Chase.
