The Toyota\/Save Mart 350 has long been one of NASCAR\u2019s premier road-course events. Sonoma Raceway\u2019s challenging layout features elevation changes, tight corners and heavy braking zones, rewarding drivers who excel at road-course racing. NASCAR legends such as Jeff Gordon have enjoyed tremendous success at Sonoma, while recent road-course standouts including Shane van Gisbergen, Kyle Larson and Tyler Reddick enter Sunday\u2019s race among the favorites.<\/p>\n

Qualifying produced an exciting front row, with Ty Gibbs earning the pole position alongside Carson Hocevar. Local favorite Kyle Larson will start third as he looks to capture another victory in front of a home-state crowd.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s race also officially launches NASCAR\u2019s In-Season Challenge, adding another layer of intrigue beyond the race win. Thirty-two drivers have been placed into a tournament-style bracket, with the highest-finishing driver in each head-to-head matchup advancing to the next round. The tournament will continue over the next five races before one driver claims the $1 million prize.<\/p>\n
