Whether you’re ready to experience the ultimate race fan road trip or check it off your bucket list, NASCAR’s only trip to California in 2025 will bring the series to Sonoma Raceway, July 11-13, 2025. Bringing with it all the speed, excitement, star power, and picturesque views that remain unmatched, it’s your only chance to see the NASCAR Cup Series take on California wine country and one of the most challenging road courses on the entire circuit. 

The ultimate West Coast racing vacation is calling your name. Sonoma’s legendary road course, with its tight right and left-hand turns and elevation changes – the largest elevation change of any racetrack on the 2025 schedule – is known for thrilling action, unexpected drama and an aura only wine country can provide. 

Why Should You Be There?  

 

  • West Coast, Best Coast: With only five western region races (Phoenix [2], Las Vegas [2], and Sonoma) - the opportunities to see your favorite NASCAR drivers are limited. NASCAR’s only stop in California in 2025 means this is the one chance to make NASCAR in Sonoma a reality and enjoy some of the best road course racing you’ll ever see. 
  • Bucket List Track: Sonoma Raceway is the crown jewel of road courses – famous for breathtaking views, wine country glamour, intense wheel-to-wheel action, and jaw-dropping racing moments. Sonoma is also one of the original road courses (alongside Watkins Glen International) and a staple on the NASCAR schedule since 1989. 
  • Meet The Stars: From Chase Elliott to Kyle Larson, watch, and in some instances, meet and get autographs from NASCAR’s biggest names in NASCAR as they go all-out for the illustrious victory in wine country. 
  • Perfect Summer Escape: For the first time ever, Sonoma’s NASCAR date has moved back a month from the typical June time frame, to July 11-13 – allowing for more people to join in the fun during summer vacations and school being out. Road trip through gorgeous Northern California, enjoy world-class wineries and some of the best food in the world, then witness adrenaline-fueled NASCAR action to round out a dream vacation.
