A California Double‑Header
NASCAR is back in California for the second straight weekend, this time swapping the naval airstrip of Coronado for the historic road course at Sonoma Raceway.
The weekend’s on‑track action kicks off on Friday with a full slate for the ARCA Menards Series, the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, and the NASCAR Cup Series. ARCA practice begins at 1:40 p.m. Eastern, followed by qualifying at 3:10 p.m., while the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series mirrors the schedule with practice at 4:00 p.m. and its own qualifying at 5:05 p.m. The General Tire 150 ARCA Menards race then closes out Friday evening at 6:30 p.m. ET.
Saturday shifts focus to the premier Cup Series, where teams take to the 1.999‑mile asphalt layout for a final practice session at 2:00 p.m. ET, then battle for pole position at 3:10 p.m. The day culminates in the Pit Boss/FoodMaxx 250, a 79‑lap, 157.21‑mile contest that starts at 5:30 p.m. ET.
Sunday’s climax is the Toyota/Save Mart 350, the Cup Series’ 110‑lap, 218.9‑mile showdown scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET, rounding out a three‑day weekend of racing that blends tradition with the unique challenges of Sonoma’s winding turns.
Beyond the on‑track schedule, the event offers fans a chance to experience the venue’s 1.999‑mile road course, an asphalt surface that tests both braking stability and cornering precision. Coverage will be available across the network’s digital platforms and traditional broadcast partners, ensuring viewers can follow every lap from the comfort of their homes.
