The 2001 Auto Club 300 was a Busch Series event held at California Speedway on April 28, 2001. Hark Parker, Jr won his first career race on a daring fuel milage gamble, running out of fuel coming off Turn Four. Jeff Purvis finished second. Greg Biffle, the super rookie, led the most laps and finished 6th. That was good enough to take the points lead by three markers over Kevin Harvick, who finished 5th. Stats
