The inaugural race was held on June 22, 1997. Back then it was called the California 500, and it featured 21 lead changes among over a dozen different drivers.

Another unusual part of this race’s dynamic history is that all of the races have been won by two manufacturers, Ford and Chevrolet. They've been so dominant at this race over the years that it has become any sort of badge of honor for the two manufacturers to keep the streak alive as long as they can. However, certain other manufacturers are coming on strong, and the next race promises to be a shootout of epic proportions, enticing fans to snap up any remaining Auto Club 500 tickets that happen to be out there.

Sprint Cup Series racing is very hotly contested, because the money awarded to the champion at the end of the year is so large.
