The Pepsi 500 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California, has been shorted in length and had a slight name change, and this race is now known as the Pepsi Max 400.
Ever since this race became part of the Chase for the Sprint Cup, it became even more popular with fans. It has also become very popular with four-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, who has captured this race for the past three years and used it to catapult himself to the title.
The event was first held in 2004, added as part of the NASCAR Realignment, and many race fans have not embraced its introduction. From its inception until 2008 the race was run on Labor Day weekend, which was previously the traditional date of the Southern 500 at Darlington, and in the Inland Empire in 1970s, the former California 500 United States Auto Club Marlboro Championship Trail race. The 2005 race was famous for Kyle Busch becoming the youngest NASCAR Sprint Cup Series winner ever(then known as the NEXTEL Cup Series).
