The engines are revving, and the excitement is building as NASCAR heads to Sonoma Raceway this weekend for the inaugural DoorDash 250 and the 31^st annual Toyota / Save Mart 350. For the first time at Sonoma Raceway, NASCAR Xfinity Series drivers will take on the challenging road course on Saturday June 10. Although the race will feature many up-and-coming NASCAR drivers who have yet to test their skills at Sonoma Raceway, fans will also get the chance to see many of their favorite NASCAR Cup Series drivers in the race.

Two drivers that will be contenders in both races this weekend are Kyle Larson and Daniel Suarez. Larson, the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series Champion, drank from the chalice in victory lane in 2021 and will try to take his sixth pole position in a row this year. Last year’s Toyota/Save Mart 350 winner Daniel Suarez made history when he became the first Mexican-born driver to win a NASCAR Cup Series Race. Other Cup Series drivers in the Xfinity field will be AJ Allmendinger, Ross Chastain, Ty Gibbs, Ty Dillon and Aric Almirola.

The weekend action culminates in Sunday’sToyota/Save Mart 350. Northern California will be well represented in Sunday’s race, as AJ Allmendinger, Tyler Reddick, and Kyle Larson will all be looking for a win on their home turf. Bakersfield native Kevin Harvick, who will retire from racing and head to the broadcast booth next year, will race at Sonoma, and in California for the final time when the green flag drops on Sunday afternoon.
