Fontana's Auto Club Speedway Weekend Of Events
Auto Club Speedway in Fontana is offering a two-for-one bonus Saturday in hopes of drawing bigger crowds to its February NASCAR Weekend.
Both the Nationwide Series cars and Camping World Truck Series will be racing Saturday around the final round of practice for Sunday's featured Auto Club 500 for Sprint Cup cars.
Last year, the trucks ran on Friday night with the Nationwide Series on Saturday night. But attendance for both races was low, leading NASCAR officials to bundle the events.
The 200-mile truck race will start at noon Saturday, with the 300-mile Nationwide race starting at 4:45 p.m.. The final round of Sprint Cup practice will be at 2:15 p.m.
