NASCAR is at Sonoma Raceway this weekend for the second consecutive road-course race in California in as many weeks. Before Sunday’s Toyota/Save Mart 350 can begin, there’s Cup Series qualifying on Saturday to determine the starting lineup.
We’re keeping a particularly close eye on qualifying this weekend because of the NASCAR In-Season Challenge that begins this weekend, with Round 1 turning the top 32 drivers into a field of 16 next week. All of this, of course, works toward the battle for the $1 million prize.
