NASCAR is returning to Sonoma Raceway this weekend but it’s basically a brand-new race track now that it was repaved over the winter.
There will be no tire management, no tire conservation, and it will be hammer down in over the course of 218 miles.
The Cup Series entry list will feature the usual 36 chartered entries but also two open cars for Supercars contenders Cam Waters in the RFK Racing No. 60 and Will Brown in the Richard Childress Racing No. 33. AJ Allmendinger is also back in the Kaulig Racing No. 16 this weekend. Kaz Grala is also back in the Rick Ware Racing No. 15 after Cody Ware made his second start of the season at Gateway.
