NASCAR's biggest stars bring their brand of high-intensity stock-car racing to the Northern California wine country when the Toyota Save Mart 350 returns to the Sonoma Raceway. A staple on the NASCAR schedule since 1989, Sonoma Raceway is one of only three road courses on the Monster Energy Cup Series schedule. These races put drivers into the unfamiliar position of having to navigate through winding curves, battle changes in elevation and deal with track width that goes from single-lane to three-wide racing. This 12-turn road course includes the infamous carousel. For the 51st year in a row, Sonoma Raceway will be hosting auto racing, with this being the 31st year of NASCAR Cup Series racing at the track. Get your Toyota Save Mart 350 tickets at StubHub.
