NASCAR is shifting from the oval-shaped World Wide Technology Gateway to the road course of Sonoma Raceway this weekend for the Toyota/Save Mart 350. The weekend will be full of thrilling racing action as the 1.99-mile-long will host the Next Gen cars for the first time.
Fresh off the weekend in St. Louis, it will be interesting to see how drivers cope with unknown challenges in Sonoma County, California after an action-packed inaugural Enjoy Illinois 300.
A total of 36 Cup Series cars are set to start the race on Sunday, competing over 110 laps and 1.99 miles of bumper-to-bumper racing.
Kyle Larson, the driver of the #5 Chevrolet Camaro for Hendrick Motorsports, won last year’s Toyota/Save Mart 350 and will be looking for back-to-back wins in Sonoma County, California.
Ahead of Sunday’s race, there will be a qualifying race for the main event to determine the starting grid for the 16th Cup race of the season.
Drivers with the best qualifying time will win the pole for Sunday's race. The rest of the grid will be decided according to their qualifying time in Saturday’s qualifying race.
