Get a look at all the times and channels you need to know to catch both XFINITY Series and Cup Series action from Fontana this weekend.
NASCAR Goes West is headed for its final leg this weekend at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, and for anyone other than Kevin Harvick, that might be a good thing.
Harvick has authored the most dominant start to a NASCAR Cup Series season in recent memory, one that has him looking for his fourth straight win in a row in the Auto Club 400 on Sunday. If he ends up sweeping the western swing, he’ll be the first Cup Series driver in more than a decade to visit Victory Lane in four consecutive races.
Seeing if anyone can stop him will be the biggest subplot of the weekend, but there are others. Most notably, can Martin Truex Jr. find just a little more speed to start mounting his title defense in earnest? Might Jimmie Johnson be fired up after the announcement that Lowe’s is leaving him after 2018 and right the ship in his home state?
On the XFINITY Series side, the drivers will race in what actually is the Roseanne 300 and be glad that Kyle Busch isn’t in this one. Joey Logano is, but with only him and Austin Dillon intruding on Saturday, there’s a great opportunity for a regular to grab a win and a spot in the playoffs.
