NASCAR fans to decide start time for 2010 race at Fontana

Will the flag drop at high noon, or at 4:30 in the afternoon for next winter's NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana?

For the first time at the track, race officials won't make the determination. Fans will, by vote.

You can register your preference at the track's website, via its Twitter account, or on its Facebook or MySpace page.

Now if only we could vote for the weather.
