Cars that do well at this track:
Ford cars have been the dominant car over the past few years
at this track. Matt Kenseth has won the last two February starts at
California. Ford has won 4 out of the last seven races at this track.
Over the lifetime of the races run at this place Hendrick
cars have also been dominate with three wins by Jeff Gordon, two by Jimmy
Johnson and one by Kyle Busch.
Just based on the past three years Roush and Hendrick cars
have fully dominated at this track getting over ten top ten finishes at this
track.
Advantage at this track:
I will say Roush Fenway has the advantage at this
track. They always pull in cars into the top ten at the end of the
race. So I say put a Roush car or even two into your fantasy draft except
for David Ragan who is bit new to the series.
