NASCAR Talk Around The Track: Auto Club Speedway

Clint Bowyer is having fun, Martin Truex Jr. gambled big, and Kyle Larson wins his first NASCAR Monster Energy Cup race at Fontana.

The race in Fontana at the Auto Club Speedway lived up to the hype you would expect from a Hollywood movie. Kyle Larson, the California Kid, survived a crazy finish to get his first Monster Energy Cup win at Fontana. Clint Bowyer is having fun again and earned a third-place finish, but he is saving the big celebration until he wins. Perseverance paid off for Brad Keselowski as he suffered an early wreck, but rebounded for a second- place finish in his ‘beat up’ Ford. Martin Truex Jr. gambled big and had to settle for fourth, Matt Kenseth takes a hard hit, and Ryan Blaney scores his third top-10 finish of 2017.
