Long, soggy weekend ends in Monday sunshine at Cali

A recap of the wet and wild weekend at California:

15 hours, 49 minutes, 54 seconds -- Length of the overnight red flag during the Auto Club 500 that began at 6:32 p.m. ET Sunday and ended just after 3 p.m. ET Monday.

Pit Crew of the Week

No 48. Chevrolet: Who else? Crew chief Chad Knaus called for a two-tire stop and air-pressure adjustment on Lap 200 and the 48 car was first out of the pits, marking a 12-spot improvement. Jimmie Johnson led his first laps of the race and from there coasted to the title.

Tip of the Week

Radiators are often ignored. Yet keeping engines cool and running in the right temperature range is critical to taking the heat off your engine.

• Under blue skies Monday, some 21 hours after the race had started, Carl Edwards put the finishing touches on the rain-delayed Auto Club 500 Sprint Cup Series race at beleaguered Auto Club Speedway. The sunshine that bathed Edwards' run to victory was a sharp contrast to the conditions that stopped the race shortly after 2 a.m. ET earlier Monday morning.

Qualifying
• After a day-long effort to dry the track, a mid-afternoon downpour finally forced NASCAR officials to cancel the entire day's activities. That meant no Sprint Cup Series qualifying, as five cars were sent packing without making a lap. The lineup was set per the NASCAR rulebook, placing last year's champion Jimmie Johnson on the pole and his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Jeff Gordon, on the outside front row.
