2007 Auto Club 500

2007 Auto Club 500

The 2007 Auto Club 500 was the second race in the 2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup season, and took place on February 25, 2007 at the California Speedway in Fontana, California.

The 2007 Auto Club 500 was the first NEXTEL Cup race using unleaded gasoline. All cars ran on Sunoco 260 GT Plus, a 112-octane racing fuel, the fuel which NASCAR planned to use throughout the 2007 season.

In the final accident of the race, David Reutimann was spun out accidentally by Greg Biffle and went into the wall in the corner. The strike to the wall was among the hardest hits NASCAR had ever recorded. The in-car camera showed him dazed by the impact and struggling to get out, unable to respond to his crew initially. Although he suffered a bruised foot, he was otherwise uninjured, and competed in the Busch Series race in Mexico City the next weekend.
