This table is a companion for my NASCAR Fantasy Racing Preview of the Pepsi 500 at Auto Club Speedway. Below you can check the results and average finish for the 26 most fantasy-relevant drivers. The first race at Fontana was the second race of the season, MIS held events in June and August.
The track at Fontana, California is a two-mile, low-banked, D-shaped oval which is configured very similarly to Michigan International Speedway.
When looking at this table keep in mind that Jimmie Johnson ran out of fuel at the both races at MIS. Johnson recorded the best average running position among all drivers and was leading at the halfway mark at both races. Johnson also led the most laps at both events.
Mark Martin also ran out of fuel in the August MIS race. Martin was running second midway through and ran fourth, on the average during the race.
Also see my 2009 Average Finish at Chase Tracks Table which is very useful for planning your lineup for the rest of the season.
