NASCAR Sprint Cup Series: Intrigue At Sonoma On Sunday

, , , , , ,

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series takes on a different twist this Sunday in the Toyota-Save Mart 350 (2 PM ET, TNT). The track at Sonoma Raceway is unique, in that it’s a road-course, meaning there are sharp turns intended to simulate driving in a regular road environment, as opposed to just turning left around the oval. It’s an environment that some drivers have mastered, others struggle with and it all combines to create a race where conventional wisdom is stood on its head.

Its road course week in NASCAR, as the Sprint Cup Series goes to Sonoma, CA on Sunday afternoon for the Toyota/Save Mart 350.
