AUSTIN DILLON QUOTE:
What do you think about Auto Club Speedway?
“I like Auto Club Speedway. The bigger tracks suit me well. It’s very similar to the way Michigan International Speedway was before they repaved it and I run really well at Michigan. I can’t wait to get to California. The track is a little rough. On big tracks like California you can really move around and find speed. My dirt background plays to the advantage there. I’ve just always been good at those types of tracks.”
