NASCAR comes to California wine country for a Sunday drive on the road course at Sonoma Raceway.
The racing surface at Sonoma recently underwent a full-scale repave – the first in more than 23 years – ahead of the 2024 race. Over the course of two months, the track was ground down, cracks were repaired, and a new, long-lasting asphalt was placed down on the circuit.
One driver who really thrived on the old surface is defending race winner Martin Truex Jr. The Joe Gibbs Racing star leads all active drivers with four Cup Series wins at Sonoma and has won three of the last five races on the Northern California road course.
While Truex is currently ranked fourth in points, the 2017 Cup Series champion is still seeking his first win of the 2024 season.
How will the repave affect Truex and the rest of the field? Here is all the information you need to get ready for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway:
The Toyota/Save Mart 350 starts at 3:30 p.m. ET (12:30 p.m. local) at Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, California.
Fox is broadcasting the Toyota/Save Mart 350 and has a pre-race show beginning at 3 p.m. ET (noon local). Fox Sports 1 (FS1) will have an earlier pre-race show at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. local).
The Toyota/Save Mart 350 can be live streamed on the FoxSports website and on the FoxSports app.
The Toyota/Save Mart 350 is 110 laps around the 1.99-mile road course for a total of 218.9 miles (352.3 kilometers). The race will feature three segments (laps per stage) − Stage 1: 25 laps; Stage 2: 30 laps; Stage 3: 55 laps.
Martin Truex Jr. led 51 of 110 laps, including the final 14, before pulling away from Kyle Busch by 2.98 seconds on June 11, 2023 for his fourth career Cup Series win at Sonoma.
