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:
