The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Sonoma County this weekend for the second road course race of the 2022 season after the Enjoy Illinois 300.
Toyota/Save Mart 350 is the 16th NASCAR Cup Series race of the season and will be held next weekend at Sonoma Raceway in California. The race will begin at 4:00 p.m. EST and will air on FOX and MRN.
The Toyota/Save Mart 350 is contested over 90 laps on the 1.99-mile-long track. The race marks the 33rd Cup race hosted by Sonoma Raceway in the series’ history.
The venue hosted its first Cup Series race in 1989, with Ricky Rudd taking the win. It is one of the seven Cup Series road-course events and the second of the season.
The venue features 12 turns on a hilly course with 160 feet (49 m) of total elevation change.
Motorsports journalist Bob Pockrass recently took to Twitter to share the drivers list of those taking part in the Toyota/Save Mart 350.
Four open cars will take to the starting grid for this week’s NASCAR Cup Series race: No.16 Kaulig Racing’s A. J. Allmendinger, No.77 Spire Motorsports’ Josh Bilicki, No.15 Rick Ware Racing’s Joey Hand, and Scott Heckert. Heckert will be making his first Cup appearance of the season, driving the No.78 for Live Fast Motorsports.
Hendrick Motorsports driver Kyle Larson won last year’s Toyota/Save Mart 350 and finished with a total time of 3 hours, 14 minutes, and 42 seconds.
