See who’s driving under which colors for the race with the same name as the track where it’s held, the Auto Club 400 at Auto Club Speedway in California.

NASCAR Goes West isn’t quite finished yet. Kevin Harvick probably never wants this swing to end, and everyone else is likely looking forward to returning to the east coast after Sunday’s Auto Club 400 at Fontana.

Harvick, of course, will be looking to make it four Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series victories in a row, something that hasn’t been done for more than a decade. At least one thing will be different about this race for his No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford, though, as it will sport the Busch Beer colors instead of the Jimmy John’s scheme that led him to the recent trifecta of victories. If you’re a superstitious fan, take note.

The field will once again be 37 cars for the race, a pretty common number for the 2018 NASCAR season. The No. 96 driven by D.J. Kennington at Phoenix won’t be at Fontana, but the second Premium Motorsports car, the No. 55 Toyota, will be there are driven by Reed Sorensen.

Ryan Blaney, who seems to be in a different paint scheme every week, will debut PPG as the primary sponsor on his No. 12 Team Penske Ford. And there are a bunch of other sponsor differences from last week, as you can see in the full entry list below.
