Reed Sorenson on Racing at Auto Club Speedway
“The race in California this weekend should pretty good. I really like the track and it’s fun because you are wide-open almost all the way around. With multiple grooves, you’ll see a lot of three-wide racing with everyone carrying a lot of speed down the straight-aways. Hopefully we can have a successful day and get this Rexall Chevy in victory lane at the end of the day.”
