NASCAR 2022 at Fontana: Full lineups after qualifying for WISE Power 400 at Auto Club Speedway

After an action-packed Daytona 500 last Sunday, NASCAR is back at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. Fans are also eagerly waiting for the start of the WISE Power 400 race this Sunday, February 27.

The two-mile track will host a NASCAR race for the first time since 2020, which will also mark the 32nd event in the Series' history. The 36 drivers will compete for over 200 laps on a D-shaped oval track. Previously, WISE Power 400 was known as the Auto Club 400 from 2011 to 2022.

In Saturday’s qualifying rounds, Austin Cindric, the winner of Sunday’s Daytona 500, secured pole position for the second NASCAR Cup Series event at a speed of 174.647 mph. Petty GMS Motorsports team driver Erik Jones went second fastest, to share the front row with Cindric.

Multiple cars spun during the final round of the qualifying session. Drivers like Joey Logano, Chase Elliott, and Brad Keselowski all lost control of their Next Gen cars.
