Nascar adds Fontana in Sprint Cup Chase

Jimmie Johnson wins the California Auto Club 500 in Fontana, CA and takes a 12 point lead in the Sprint Cup Chase.

Johnson who had a strong car all day battled with teammate Jeff Gordon in the final laps to win a race that had four caution flags in the final 50 laps after only having two in over 200 laps.

The California Auto Club Speedway was finally added to the Sprint Cup Chase and switched spots with the Atlanta Motor Speedway to be one of the 10 race tracks that the 12 drives in the chase race at.

Normally the California Auto Club hosts two Nascar weekend events in February and September, but this year they got the chance to host a race in the chase.

Six races are left in the chase and Jimmie Johnson looks to make more history as he will attempt to win his four consecutive Sprint Cup.
