Dnes čtyř set mílový závod se svého poprvé dočkal v roce 1997, tedy ihned po svém otevření. Inaugurační California 500 Presented by NAPA vyhrál Jeff Gordon, který začal psát svůj rekord. Třem jezdcům se totiž v historii závodu povedlo zvítězit třikrát – Jeffu Gordonovi (1997, 1999 a 2004), Mattu Kensethovi (2006, 2007 a 2009) a Jimmie Johnsonovi (2002, 2010 a 2016). Dvě výhry má potom na kontě Kyle Busch (2013 a 2014). Změna délky závodu z původních 500 mil na 400 přišla v roce 2011.
