“It’s always good coming home. Auto Club Speedway is my home track. I watched so many races there growing up that it feels pretty cool actually racing there. Last year was my first Cup start at Fontana, and we had a pretty good day with a top-20 finish. It was actually one of our better races of the season, so I think we can go out and have another good performance on Sunday.
“I’m happy to have Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters back on our Ford Fusion for this race. They’ve been a great supporter and it’s cool to take them to my home track. We had a good day and a top-25 finish last week at Phoenix and I think we can carry that momentum to this next race and have a good day for Rinnai.”
JUST THE FACTS: Whitt has one Sprint Cup career start at Auto Club Speedway … He finished 18th at the 2014 race … Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters returns as primary sponsor of the No. 35 Ford … Whitt is from Alpine, Calif., about two hours south of Fontana.
