2015 MAVTV 500

The 2015 MAVTV 500 IndyCar race was an open-wheel motorsport event held on June 27, 2015, at the 2.000-mile (3.219 km) oval course at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California.

[3][4][5][6] The race ended with a spectacular airborne crash from Ryan Briscoe, who was uninjured.

[8] To some, it invoked memories of the 2011 race at Las Vegas that saw a 15 car crash and claimed the life of Dan Wheldon.

"[10] Juan Pablo Montoya said, "Honestly, I was not a fan of the racing we put on today.

"[11] Race-winner Graham Rahal disputed that it was a pack race because the cars were able to run in different lanes.

It's not that there's too much downforce and whatever... And I thought today the tires went off just enough to make it intriguing, make it interesting at the end... That's the sort of thing that today brought out, whereas the old pack racing wasn't... the tires were good, you know, you were stuck all the time.

[20] However, in 2020, it was confirmed that NASCAR would sell the Auto Club Speedway property and demolish the 2 mile oval.

Leigh Diffey called the race on television with Steve Matchett and Paul Tracy providing analysis.

Paul Page headed the IMS booth with analyst Davey Hamilton, with Mark Jaynes and Jake Query reporting from the track.
